Château du Tertre: Tasting & Drinking
Looking back to some of the earliest vintages of Château du Tertre I encountered it was the 1996 that really alerted me to the quality that could be found here. It showed well, tasted in a small line up of 1996 left bank wines, and although not the best by a long shot it was certainly very serviceable and was sufficiently good for me to put a few away in the cellar. This vintage, however, actually predates the involvement of Eric Albada Jelgersma and his team, who took control in the few years that followed. Together they oversaw the élevage of the 1997 vintage, but it was in 1998 that they assumed full responsibility for the wine.
