This is a beautifully blended

all held taut by a fine weave of tannic structure

its dark fruit core enhanced by notes of tobacco box and the kitchen garden

but enormously talented Alexandre Thienpont has produced a sublime 2006 VCC (as it is known) with a finesse and silkiness rarely found outside top Grand Cru Red Burgundy

ring-fencing it with the desire to share it with others

2010 Château du Tertre, Margaux, Bordeaux Women in Wine This is a beautifully blended70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 10% Petit Verdot. Best ever! A bold statement? Perhaps, but we have been going here to taste for many years, and it just gets better every year. Always soft, round and ripe, the team has brought it to another level. Lovely crushed raspberry and cream on the nose and a deliciously velvety mouthful, like cold raspberry ripple ice cream on warm summer pudding. It's a consistent quality that you can always rely on.
