This Cabernet-dominant blend represents a strong effort for this property, no doubt helped by the brave decision to sell off one-third of the production in bulk. 2022/04/01 PP(WAポイント)90-93 ┃公開媒体: The Wine Advocate ┃著者: William Kelley ┃飲み頃: N/A The 2021 du Tertre is a very pretty, elegant wine, bursting with aromas of wild berries, exotic spices, cigar box and loamy soil. Medium to full-bodied, ample and seamless, it's velvety and enveloping, with bright acids, beautifully refined tannins and a mouthwatering finish. The blend this year is 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Cabernet Franc, a mere 10% Merlot and 6% Petit Verdot. Occupying the highest point in the Margaux appellation (a lofty 25 meters), Ch?teau du Tertre in fact encompasses not one "tertre" (high point) but two, possessing both a 30-hectare block on fine gravels situated around the ch?teau itself and another 20-hectare block, separated only by a stream, on the plateau of Bel-Air where the gravels are sandier. Both are comparatively homogeneous and both inform the grand vin; and both are comparatively warm, well-draining terroirs, meaning that the vegetative cycle at du Tertre is quite advanced, and that even if the team here don't precipitate to harvest, this certainly isn't a late-ripening site. In the aftermath of the devastating 1956 frost, the Gasqueton family replanted the entire vineyard (as at Calon-S?gur) at the rather low density of 6,300 vines per hectare, with one-third Cabernet Sauvignon, one-third Cabernet Franc and one-third Merlot—an idiosyncratic enc?pagement for Margaux and one that tended to deliver somewhat lighter, leaner wines in years where the Cabernet Franc didn't fully ripen. In 1997, the Gasquetons sold to the Albada family, who began by restoring the estate's much-neglected buildings and proceeded, from 2008, to restructure the vineyards. Chemical herbicides were banished and extensive replanting began, increasing density to 9,100 vines per hectare, and adapting grape varieties to soil type. With du Tertre's sale in early 2020, restructuring continues. Only 30% of the vineyard remains to be replanted, a project that's projected to conclude in 2027. All these new plantings have been farmed biodynamically from their inception, and while du Tertre retains some old-vine Merlot and Cabernet Franc, from which a massale selection is being propagated, the proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon has increased and Petit Verdot, which works well on the lower parts of the slope, represents around 10%.
