The 2019 Le Tertre du Lys d'Or is an elegant and approachable Bordeaux crafted in a classic French style, showcasing ripe dark fruit, refined structure and exceptional balance. The nose is expressive and inviting, revealing aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry and dark plum, complemented by notes of cedar, dried herbs, tobacco leaf and subtle spice.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with fine, polished tannins, vibrant natural acidity and a smooth, structured texture, delivering flavours of cassis, black cherry and blackberry layered with hints of cocoa, savoury herbs and gentle oak spice. The finish is long, dry and beautifully balanced, making it a versatile Bordeaux that is equally suited to everyday enjoyment and special occasions.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is a fantastic Bordeaux for customers who appreciate elegant, Cabernet-led reds with refined tannins and excellent food-pairing versatility. Enjoy now after a short decant, or cellar over the next 6–10 years as it develops additional savoury complexity. Ideal with roast lamb, grilled rib-eye steak, duck breast, mushroom dishes or mature cheddar and hard cheeses.
