Tasting Notes
The 2024 Les Hauts du Tertre is a blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and 7% Petit Verdot this year, as more of the estate's young vines come into production. Offering up aromas of minty berries, it's medium-bodied, bright and lively, with good persistence on the finish. This cuvée is in itself a selection, as the estate opted to sell off some 20% of the vintage's production in bulk to increase the quality of the second wine.

Forward, medium-bodied, soft, ready-to-drink, accessible cherry and strawberry-filled wine for early drinking, charming, pleasure. This will be easy to drink on release.
A well-structured wine with medium body and lots of red cherry and berry fruit. This has fresh acidity, nicely packed tannins and a linear, medium-long finish. Vibrant and skillfully made for the vintage. 65% cabernet sauvignon, 10% cabernet franc, 18% merlot and 7% petit verdot.
