The 2021 Les Hauts du Tertre has a perfumed bouquet of blackberry and pencil box scents, nicely detailed and the oak neatly integrated. The palate is medium-bodied and very Médoc-like, with a peppery opening, good depth, just the right amount of dryness and a tobacco-infused finish. This is a perfectly capable Deuxième Vin to drink over 10 years after bottling.

Offering up aromas of sweet berries, cigar wrapper, loamy soils and burning embers, the 2021 Les Hauts du Tertre is medium-bodied, lively and seamless, with powdery tannins and succulent acids. It contains no Cabernet Franc this year, as everything went into the grand vin.

byGeorgina Hindlethe4/1/2022

Dark chocolate aromas on the nose with touches of exotic spices, smoke, ash and perfumed flowers. Supple with bright acidity, nicely balanced with cherry, fresh mint and creamy blackcurrants. So easy to drink and enjoy with soft tannins and overall freshness. No Cabernet Franc in the blend this year.
