Characteristics and tasting advice for Château du Tertre 2016

Tasting

Nose
Harmonious bouquet combining fruity scents of blueberries and raspberries with more mineral notes of flint stone.

Palate
The attack on the palate is quite saline and the tannins are crunchy. The finish seduces with its persistence and freshness.
