Tertre Roteboeuf 1800cl 2016

Le Tertre Roteboeuf is one of the unsung stars of St-Émilion often overlooked in favour of its more glamorous neighbours, yet since 1989, this 6-hectare estate has been producing some of the appellation’s finest wines. A blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc, the 2015 was the first of three truly exceptional releases that have shifted quality levels up yet another notch. Profoundly rich and intense with fruit, it is delicious to drink now, but has all the staying power and underlying complexity to age effortlessly for another 20-30 years.
