The 2022 Le Tertre du Lys d'Or Half Bottle (375ml) is an elegant and approachable Bordeaux crafted in a classic French style, offering vibrant fruit, refined structure and exceptional balance in a convenient half-bottle format. The nose is expressive and inviting, revealing aromas of blackcurrant, ripe plum and dark cherry, complemented by subtle notes of cedar, dried herbs and gentle spice.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with fine, silky tannins, balanced natural acidity and a smooth, rounded texture, delivering flavours of blackberry, cassis and plum layered with hints of cocoa, savoury herbs and soft oak spice. The finish is long, dry and beautifully balanced, making it an excellent choice for both everyday enjoyment and intimate dining occasions.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is a fantastic Bordeaux for customers looking to enjoy a quality French red without opening a full bottle. The 375ml format is perfect for a romantic dinner, solo indulgence or pairing with a meal for two. Best enjoyed now or cellared over the next 5–8 years. Ideal with roast lamb, grilled steak, duck, mushroom dishes or mature cheddar and hard cheeses.
