Château du Tertre in Bordeaux's Margaux appellation released its first new vintage of white and it's not labeled Bordeaux. The 2015 wine is an unusual blend of 42 percent chardonnay with the balance of viognier, gros manseng and semillon. It is labeled as Vin de France as it does not fit into any Bordeaux’s appellations. But as Alexander Van Beek, managing director of Château du Tertre and Château Giscours, responds when asked about making such a white wine in Bordeaux, “Sometimes you have to do something that is fun, away from the borders.” Watch the video to learn more about this bold new project from one of Margaux’s top estates.
