Tertre Roteboeuf, Saint-Emilion Grand Cru 2020

Tertre Roteboeuf

Case Format: 12x75cl

Max score: 100.0

One of Saint-Émilion’s greatest vineyards, Tertre Rôteboeuf is an extensive 5.7 hectare amphitheatre of vines planted on cool, clay-limestone soils. François Mitjavile produces just over 2,000 cases a year from his tiny plot. Typically, Le Tertre Rôteboeuf is deeply coloured, richly aromatic on the nose and packed with blackcurrants, overripe cherries, liquorice, roasted caramel and vanilla notes on the palate.

James Lawther MW

Seductive and just a little decadent as always en primeur with a mix of toasted, mocha notes from the oak and red-berry fruit. Dense, rich and ripe on the palate, the ripeness pushed just to the limit. Supple tannins but a structure for ageing, the alcohol offset by a stony freshness. (JL)

Jane Anson

This is a powerful, deeply focused and intense. Plenty of spice, cassis pastille, intense muscular tannins, fairly closed and austere right now, but a real sense of lift and juice becomes clear after 10 minutes of opening in the glass. Harvest began on September 21st, the earliest since Mitjavile arrived at the estate. Recently had the beautiful 1998 of Tertre Roteboeuf, and it is easy to see that this vintage also will allow the limestone terroir to become clearer with bottle age.
