A graceful and aromatic Margaux from a classic Bordeaux vintage, the 1998 Château du Tertre shows ripe black cherry, plum, and floral notes layered with subtle spice, cedar, and smoky undertones. The palate is silky, medium-bodied, and beautifully balanced, with fine tannins and a gentle, lingering finish. Now fully mature, this is a supple and charming Left Bank wine that highlights Margaux’s signature elegance and finesse at peak drinking maturity.

A sleeper of the vintage, this excellent Du Tertre is reminiscent of this estate's fine 1979. Sweet aromas of black cherry jam infused with creosote and grilled notes emerge from this dark plum/ruby/purple-colored 1998. Fragrant, with an expansive, rich person.

Cabernet Sauvignon reigns supreme in the wines of the Margaux appellation. The main structure of Château Du Tertre wines, it is responsible for all their freshness and silky, enveloping tannins. As it ages, it gains in complexity, giving the wine longevity.

Renowned for its volume, roundness and suppleness, Merlot flourishes in the clay soils reserved for it. Opening the harvest, its silky, fruity notes add smoothness to Château Du Tertre’s signature wine.

Complementing Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, Cabernet Franc brings the balance essential to its structure, and stands out for its freshness and liveliness. Its remarkable finesse offers elegant aromatic length.

Finally, Petit Verdot harmonizes this aromatic palette, its spicy notes, tannic structure and aromatic power giving the wine all its subtlety.
