Tertre Roteboeuf 2008 is a Right Bank Bordeaux blend from the Saint-Émilion appellation, crafted by winemaker François Mitjavile. This vintage displays an array of wild berry fruits alongside earthy notes, cedar and sous bois, all influenced by oak maturation. The wine exhibits a clear, structured profile with crisp acidity and supple tannins, which suggest a need for cellaring to fully integrate the flavours. Mitjavile’s approach combines tradition with innovation, emphasising minimal intervention in the winemaking process.

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
