Le Tertre, Saint-Emilion

A memorable dinner at Restaurant Le Tertre, at the Rue du Tertre de la Tente, Saint-Emilion, France. Impossible to find through a GPS, even though it is in the heart of the town, in a very steep street that makes access quite challenging but fun. We arrived without a reservation, but were quickly accommodated in the best place of the restaurant, that is, the wine cellar which in reality is a carved space on the limestone wall. We had the fixed menu, surrounded by over 2,000 wines. Food in general was good, but the wine, Chateau la Tour-Mallet 2005, Pomerol, was exceptional. A wine with a lot of fruit but with a perfect balance and a great structure. One of the best wines we have ever had.
