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. 2005 was widely lauded as an exceptional vintage and this is a stunningly seamless release of incredible perfume, richness of fruit and spicy complexity. Though excellent to drink now, this should continue to evolve over the next 20-25 years.

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 M. Parker, Jr.

The 2005 Tertre-Rôteboeuf is a vintage that I have not tasted for several years. You would be hard pressed to discern whether you are in the presence of a great Burgundy or a great Bordeaux on the nose as it delivers exquisitely pure brambly red fruit laced with minerals. The palate is actually structured and firm, suggesting that this Saint-Émilion will benefit from further bottle age. Touches of black pepper, meat juices and sage furnish the lingering finish. This is a more "swarthy" Tertre-Rôtebouef conjured by François Mitjavile, but I can see this repaying patience. Tasted at the château. Neal Martin17th June 2025
