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. Now at peak maturity, this is an excellent expression of the estate from one the most highly acclaimed vintages of the 1980s.
- The 1989 Le Tertre-Rôteboeuf is a vintage that I have not encountered for many years. Provenance probably plays a part, and this magnum was stored on release by François Mitjavile’s UK agent. It has a deep hue with little aging on the rim and thick tears in the glass. The bouquet is broody at first, then bursts open with dark cherry, raspberry, morels and crushed stone, offering more blue fruit as it gradually responds to aeration. The structured, concentrated palate conveys a sense of beguiling symmetry. It is beautifully balanced with layers of black fruit infused with black truffle and hints of white pepper, and its satin texture belies the backbone on the finish that will ensure that well-stored bottles like this will give another 20 years of drinking pleasure. Superb. Tasted at the 1989 Bordeaux dinner at Hatched in London.
