Tertre Roteboeuf 2010 is a full-bodied, Merlot-based red wine from the St-Emilion appellation of Bordeaux. 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. On the 2010. "While I don`t think the 2010 Château Tertre Roteboeuf matches the 2005 (or 2016), it`s a brilliant Saint-Emilion that offers textbook Tertre notes of cassis, spicy wood, graphite, white truffle, sappy tobacco, and earth. Taking lots of air to open up and integrate its ample tannins, this beauty is full-bodied, has a seamless, layered texture, flawless balance, and a rock star of a finish. It`s beautifully done and just now at the early stages of its prime drink window. It needs at least 2-3 hours in a decanter at this stage (and was even better on the second day)." Jeb Dunnuck, 2021

Tasted the following day from the rest of this vertical, because I couldn't resist adding another wine, and I had kept this one in my own cellar for the past decade. It was too young to open to be honest, but was just stunning, and kept getting better over the two days following opening. Opulent and luscious, with balsamic, black chocolate and cloves, damson, kirsch and black cherry fruit, and the precision and swirl of campfire, ash and incense that mark out François Mitjavile's approach. 100% new oak. An exceptional vintage with many great wines, and yet this stands out.Jane Anson22nd November 2023

The 2010 Le Tertre Rôteboeuf has an impressive bouquet with a mixture of red and black fruit, melted tar on a hot summer day, warm gravel and allspice. This exhibits very fine delineation and focus. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, a fine bead of acidity, a little toasty towards the finish where the oak seems to obscure the terroir and fruit expression, even after ten years. Hopefully that will be addressed with further cellaring because otherwise this is a fine Right Bank. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners 10-Year On Bordeaux horizontal. Neal Martin1st April 2020

Tasted blind. More mature browning colour than most. And very mature aromas of dried fruit and beef extract and leather. Mocha too. Maturing rather too quickly for the structure but has fruit sweetness and a touch of orange. Slightly raisined on the finish. I was rather disappointed when this was revealed and raised my score slightly after tasting it again. I find this a very confusing wine to taste blind because I always love drinking it but don’t score it highly if I taste it blind with its peers. (JH)Julia Harding12th February 2020
