Description

Tertre Blanc is the white wine from Château du Tertre, a classified Margaux estate (5ᵉ Cru Classé) in Bordeaux. Manual harvest and sorting; cold pressing; part of the wine is fermented/aged in oak (barriques or demi-muids), and aged on fine lees for several months (around 6 months) with occasional bâtonnage. The proportion of new oak and one-wine wood barrels varies. The white grapes are planted on cooler soils lower down the slope — sandy-gravel soils that help retain freshness. The vineyard is protected by a pine forest. Soils: light gravels and deep sands.

Tasting Notes

COLOR:
Bright straw yellow with green or golden highlights.

NOSE:
Floral and fruity – white fruits (pear, peach, perhaps mirabelle), citrus blossom, touches of exotic fruit, jasmine or honeysuckle, sometimes litchi. Some light toasted/oak‐vanilla depending on barrel ageing.

TASTE:
Medium bodied; good freshness and vibrant acidity; balanced by some richness (from Chardonnay and oak) and aromatic vibrancy (from Viognier, Sauvignon Blanc). The finish tends to show a bit of salinity, minerality, and pleasant tension. The fruit is crisp with citrus, orchard fruits (peach / pear), maybe white stone fruit.

FINISH:
The acidity and freshness give it immediate appeal, but it also has structure and oak that suggest it can age a few years (depending on vintage), gaining additional complexity.

Food Pairing

Tertre Blanc, given its blend, freshness, aromatic lift and moderate oak, pairs nicely with a broad range of dishes. Here are some suggestions:

Seafood: oysters, scallops, lobster with butter or light cream sauces; grilled fish (sea bass, halibut) with lemon/herb dressings.

Poultry: roast chicken with herbs; chicken in cream sauce; turkey; even richer poultry dishes.

Vegetarian / Light Dishes: risotto with lemon or herbs, asparagus, artichokes, dishes with creamy sauces; also vegetable terrines.

Cheese & Starters: goat cheese, soft cheeses, fresh cheeses; mild cheeses with floral/herb tones.

Spicy or Aromatic Cuisine: because of aromatic ripeness (Viognier etc.), it could work with lightly spiced cuisine (Southeast Asian, Thai, etc.), but best with those that are not overwhelmingly spicy so the wine can still be appreciated.
