James Suckling 92
A pretty nose of blueberries, strawberries, plums, dried herbs, chocolate and allspice. Medium-to full-bodied with fine, ripe tannins and fresh acidity. Layered and velvety. Second wine of du Tertre. A blend of 45% merlot, 38% cabernet sauvignon, 12% cabernet franc and 5% petit verdot.

The 2019 Les Hauts du Tertre is an alluring second wine. Deep on the palate, with striking depth and complexity, Les Hauts is absolutely delicious. The aromatics are especially present and give quite a bit of lift to the red berry fruit. This is one of the best editions I can remember tasting of Les Hauts du Tertre.
