Château du Tertre Belair 2020

2020 was another banner year in France’s most celebrated wine region. As critic James Suckling writes, “2020 is the third outstanding vintage in a row for Bordeaux and marks perhaps the first time the region has experienced such a high-quality trilogy of superlative years.”

You could plunk down a hefty chunk of change on a wine from one of Bordeaux’s famous names. But for amazing value (especially from this in-demand vintage) savvy wine fans head to small, quality-focused, family-owned estates in the Côtes de Bordeaux district—and are rewarded handsomely.

Taste for yourself with this elegant beauty from Bruno Dellac’s Château du Tertre Belair. He planted vines here over 30 years ago, which he farms entirely organically (lowering yields and increasing flavor). Previous vintages of the wine have scooped top gold medals, and the 2020 has outdone them all, winning a double-gold medal at the China Wine & Spirits Awards.

With its ripe black currant, blackberry and toasty oak notes, Château du Tertre Belair is a perfect match for hearty roasts or meaty stews. Order your share today and make this Bordeaux the star of your dinner table.
