Château du Tertre 2009

Château du Tertre 2009 is a beautifully expressive Bordeaux red that highlights the charm and aromatic finesse of Cabernet Franc. From one of the Médoc’s historic estates, this vintage combines elegance, freshness, and immediate appeal, while still carrying the depth expected from a great Left Bank wine.

Tasting Notes
Medium garnet in the glass, this 2009 opens with an inviting bouquet of kirsch, black raspberries, warm plums, and potpourri, layered with subtle hints of sage and menthol. It is soft, juicy, and medium-bodied on the palate, showing ripe fruit, supple texture, and a lively, energetic finish. The wine’s approachable structure makes it enjoyable now, while its balance and aromatic complexity suggest it can continue to develop gracefully over the coming years.

Production
Produced in Bordeaux at Château du Tertre, this wine reflects the estate’s terroir, where gravelly soils and a temperate Atlantic climate help preserve freshness and aromatic lift. Harvesting is typically carried out with care to capture optimal ripeness, followed by vinification aimed at preserving Cabernet Franc’s natural perfume, purity, and finesse.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs well with roast duck, herb-crusted lamb, grilled mushrooms, or tender beef dishes. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 30–60 minutes if opening young or serving soon after uncorking to allow the aromatics to fully unfold.
