There has been many owners spanning the thousand year history of the estate but one of the more notable is Pierre Mitchell. He was a glass blower and in the 1700, some of Chateau Du Tertre was estate bottled thanks to his ability to make glass bottles. This is hundreds of years before other wineries started estate bottling. There was another long string of owners without anything important to note. In 1961 Philippe Gasqueton purchased the estate. He was the owner of Chateau Calon Segur in St. Estephe. He replanted the estate and modernized the wine making facilities. Upon his death in 1995. his widow sold the estate to Eric and Louise Jelgersma who own Chateau Giscours. The 2 properties are separated by a small stream.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCritical Acclaim\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94 James Suckling\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExtremely deep and ripe on the nose with dried-berry, chocolate and plum aromas that follow through to a full body, round and soft tannins and a flavorful finish. A rich and soft-tannin structure to the wine.

This wine shows a hint of initial aus-terity before opening out with rich fruits and struc-ture. It needs time and the wine will not be ready to drink before 2025. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e92 Vinous\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2016 du Tertre has really come together nicely. There is a sense of translucence in the 2016 that conveys finesse and refinement. Sage, mint, dried flowers and sweet herbs add layers of aromatic nuance as the sweet red cherry and plum fruit is pushed forward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e91 Wine Spectator\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFresh damson plum, bitter cherry and savory notes are seamlessly layered together, with fresh tobacco and a flash of iron checking in on the pure, silky, persistent finish, where the slightly high-pitched fruit plays out nicely. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e90 Jeb Dunnuck\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn outstanding Margaux with its classic perfume of sweet red fruits, dried flowers, balsam wood, and spice, the 2016 Château du Tertre is medium-bodied, elegant, and seamless on the palate. This is one of those wines that grows on you with time in the glass, and while it plays in the elegant, pretty end of the spectrum, it has wonderful fruit. It should keep nicely for 15 years or so.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e90 Wine Advocate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMedium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2016 du Tertre features cassis, red plums and spice box on the nose with herbs and earth nuances.
