Château le Tertre Roteboeuf

“A sensational effort, Tertre Roteboeuf’s 2005, along with the 2000, is one of the most profound wines made by Francois Mitjavile. A dense ruby/purple color is followed by a stunning perfume of sweet black currants, jammy cherries, licorice, and spice. Full-bodied and opulent with high, but remarkably sweet, velvety tannins as well as a stunning texture and a finish that lasts nearly a minute, this prodigious St.-Emilion should be drinkable in 3-4 years, and last for two decades or more. Kudos to the proprietor.”
–Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate

Nestled on the steep slope of Saint-Émilion's famous limestone plateau, Château Le Tertre-Rôteboeuf produces a single wine from Merlot with a hint of Cabernet Franc that is harvested by hand and fermented in temperature-controlled concrete tanks. This estate is owned by François Mitjaville, who also owns Château Roc de Cambes in the Côtes de Bourg, and L'Aurage in Côtes de Castillon. Château Le Tertre-Rôteboeuf production remains limited—around 2000 cases a year from a 6-hectare vineyard—being sold directly to importers and wine merchants. Benchmark Wine Group is thrilled to be your trusted source to offer you these exclusive bottles from Château le Tertre Roteboeuf. Vintages to look out for: 2000 and 2005.
