Note di degustazione
Beautifully fragrant, this is a great example of limestone terroir encouraging floral aromatics, particularly in lighter vintages such as 2017 (I am thoroughly enjoying the 2017 vintage right now by the way, and just a few days ago had a delicious example of the neighbouring wine, Larcis Ducasse). Expect a swirl of gunsmoke, plenty of rich and juicy blueberry and blackberry fruits, violets, peonies, cloves and cumin. Traditionally the southen slopes of St Emilion were called the most Burgundian of the region, and there is a touch of Musigny about this. 100% new oak for ageing. Easily one of the wines of the vintage, tasting even better with six years under its belt, brilliant stuff from François Mitjavile.

Blackish ruby. Rich and nuanced. Pure (current and future) pleasure with a long finish. (JR)
Tasted blind. Deep ruby garnet. Sweet spices, cured meat and luscious brambly fruit on the nose – this is immediately evident as Tertre Roteboeuf. Ripe, full bodied and soft, it is full of charred wood and cedar. This is matched by luscious red fruit and hints of blackberry. Nutmeg and clove endure with fruit on the finish. This is another success of the idiosyncratic style here – but you have to be a fan of what the Mitjaviles are trying to achieve. I, personally, am. (TP)
The 2017 Tertre-Rôteboeuf is once again one of the wines of the year. Deep, unctuous and concentrated, the 2017 is wonderfully rich from start to finish. Inky dark cherry, chocolate, licorice and cloves all open up in the glass. The 2017 is going to need a few years to soften, as the tannins are pretty imposing, and yet all the elements are in place for it to develop into a great wine. Tertre-Rôteboeuf remains one of the most distinctive wines in all of Bordeaux. Wow.
