Tertre Roteboeuf 2008 (600cl) showcases the meticulous craftsmanship of François Mitjavile, a producer known for his low-yielding vineyards in Saint-Émilion. This vintage presents a distinctive profile marked by ripe red fruits, earthy undertones, and subtle notes of cedar and leather. The oak influence is evident, offering hints of vanilla and spice. With a firm structure, crisp acidity, and well-integrated tannins, this wine reveals a layered complexity that promises further development with time in the bottle. Serve in a suitable decanter to allow its nuances to unfold.

The 2008 Le Tertre-Rôteboeuf, 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 Émilion that fills the mouth, but there is also striking mineralité...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 bottle, but there is so much potential here, one of the best wines of the appellation. Chapeau François Mitjavile. (Tasted at the château.)Neal Martin1st February 2018
