About this Item
Tertre-Rôteboeuf is regarded as one of the top wines of Saint-Émilion. The estate was originally known as Le Tertre and did not produce any wine, instead its vines were used by Bellefont Belcier. François Mitjavile changed the name to Le Tertre Rôteboeuf in order to distinguish the estate from other châteaux, and produced his first vintage in 1978. Their small 6-hectare vineyard produces low yields to ensure higher concentration, and organic and sustainable farming techniques are used in the vineyards.

Critics Ratings
‘Deep blackish ruby. Sweet, mellow Merlot nose with some spice, interest and distinction. Not exactly dense but offers lots of pleasure.’ - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com. 17/20 (Mar 2018)
‘Now at ten years old, still appears youthful in the glass with little sign of maturation on the rim. The bouquet is similarly surprisingly backward with tightly wound black fruit laced with Earl GRey and subtle autumn leaf aromas, all very well defined. With continued aeration it reveals iris and light peaty scents. The palate is very fresh on the entry with firm tannin. There is a mass to this Saint-Emilion that fills the mouth, but there is also striking mineralite…you can feel that limestone after the wine has departed. Yes, there is sinew embroidered into this wine and therefore it will require another four to five years in the bottle, but there is so much potential here, one of the best wines of the appellation.’ - Neal Martin, Vinous, 95/100 (Feb 2018)
