Invitation by Phil Bernstein, MacArthur Beverages, Washington DC
Hot off the heels of our super-successful Cheval Blanc dinner we are thrilled to welcome our good friends from Margaux. Cynthia Capelaere, Estate Director will be on hand to guide us through an amazing evening of wines direct from the Chateau. We could think of no better chef than Yannick to come up with a menu to accompany these treasures. Do not miss this!
All wines have been shipped directly from Chateau Du Tertre!
For those of you that don't know Chateau du Tertre, this classed-growth property is one of the most famed in Margaux and always over-delivers. It is a huge customer favorite and ages very, very well. Now under new ownership Cynthia is very excited to showcase the exciting developments at this Chateau. Of course, du Tertre is a long-time friend of the store (we've visited the beautiful property many times and have always supported this wine in the shop).
Berry Bros & Rudd
Château du Tertre in Margaux was in the 1990s a prime contender for the prize of the least-known Classed Growth wine in the Médoc. It was bought by the Dutch businessman, Eric Albada Jelgersma, in 1997 with a mission to revitalise the estate's fortunes. Château du Tertre's revival was first signalled with its stunning offering from the 2000 vintage and this has continued with equally strong offerings from 2005 and 2008 and 2009.
Château du Tertre can trace its history back to the 12th century, has 50 hectares of vineyards which neighbour those of Cantenac-Brown and Brane-Cantenac to the north and Giscours to the east.
It is situated on one of the highest hills in the Margaux commune which is where its name comes from (Tertre means knoll). The wines is typically a blend of 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc - Previously the wine's ageing capacity was suspect but examples from recent vintages will age easily for 15 or more years.
