2nd wine of Château du Tertre. The essence of Les Hauts du Tertre 2019 is mainly carried by the Merlot that, in this vintage, expresses both roundness and freshness. The palate offers a wonderful acidity that elevates and livens up the long finish which is mainly carried by the Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. The Petit Verdot brings a hint of spice in the nose and a complementary dimension of density to the mid-palate. The result is a real “vin de plaisir” based on roundness and drinkability that will please the palate of every type of consumer.

Critique Review

"A pretty nose of blueberries, strawberries, plums, dried herbs, chocolate and allspice. Medium-to full-bodied with fine, ripe tannins and fresh acidity. Layered and velvety. Second wine of du Tertre. A blend of 45% merlot, 38% cabernet sauvignon, 12% cabernet franc and 5% petit verdot. Drink from 2024."

James Suckling, 92 Points

"The second wine of Château du Tertre in Margaux, the 2019 Les Hauts Du Terte checks in as 45% Merlot, 38% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Petit Verdot. This spicy, red and black fruited, and cedary beauty is medium-bodied, has a plush, rounded texture, good overall balance and freshness, and a great finish."

Jeb Dunnuck, 91 Points

"Red cherries and flowers on the nose which is delicate and softly perfumed. Juicy and round, this is approachable, such a pleasant feel to the palate, you can feel the power of the vintage, the concentration and depth on the tongue but it's wrapped up very well. Nice mintiness and cooling support. Freshness and fruit; juicy red fruits, too - strawberry and a black cherry-skin texture. Charming. Drinking Window 2023 - 2031."

Decanter, 91 Points

"The 2019 Les Hauts du Tertre is an alluring second wine. Deep on the palate, with striking depth and complexity, Les Hauts is absolutely delicious. The aromatics are especially present and give quite a bit of lift to the red berry fruit. This is one of the best editions I can remember tasting of Les Hauts du Tertre."
