The 2025 Les Hauts du Tertre shows a greater emphasis on Cabernet Sauvignon than usual. It reveals a gourmand, energetic bouquet of cassis, blackberry and cherry. Medium-bodied, juicy and elegant, it’s notably supple, with no firmness and a tensile profile, concluding with a fresh, elegant and gourmand finish. This is a blend of 61% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot, 14% Cabernet Franc and 10% Petit Verdot.
