Tertre Roteboeuf 2000 is a Right Bank blend from the Saint-Émilion region. This vintage exhibits a deep garnet hue, with aromas of ripe black cherry, plum and earthy undertones. The palate reveals a structured yet refined profile, showcasing nuances of chocolate and subtle herbal notes, underscored by a firm tannic backbone. Tertre Roteboeuf is known for its unique terroir, with vineyards located on a limestone plateau, which contributes to its complex mineral character. Winemaker François Mitjavile, renowned for his minimalist approach, allows the fruit`s expression to shine.

My all-time favorite vintage of Tertre-Roteboeuf, the 2000 should age much more consistently than the rather irregular 1990 or the top-notch 1989. The 2005 should give it a run for its money down the road, but at present, this wine is performing fabulously well. It boasts a dense ruby/purple color along with notes of kirsch liqueur and licorice. This St.-Emilion could pass for a great Chateauneuf du Pape or top-notch Musigny, although it has more power and depth than a burgundy, and none of the peppery/garrigue characteristics of a Rhone. Nevertheless, there is a sweet character from the high glycerin level as I suspect the alcohol content exceeds 14%. Velvety textured and full-bodied, but surprisingly youthful, this stunningly rich wine can be drunk now, but promises to last another two decades.Robert Parker29th June 2010

The 2000 Tertre-Rôteboeuf is instantly captivating on the nose of gushing red cherries, crushed overripe strawberry, orange pith and violet scents, very Burgundy-like in terms of purity and very well defined. The palate is harmonious, sensual, silky-smooth and kept on an even keel by its fine acidity. Notes of allspice, black pepper and clove emerge. If I were to quibble, maybe it does not quite deliver the complexity you might anticipate on the finish, yet texturally this is an irresistible Saint-Émilion with grace and poise.
