Why We're Buying
Château Le Tertre Roteboeuf (St. Émilion Grand Cru) exemplifies the class and quality of its appellation. It has low-yielding vineyards, making its merlot-dominant blend supremely concentrated and rich. Currently, it ranks as one of the most expensive red wines from St. Émilion grand cru, with a price that has steadily risen over the past decade.
Critics Scores
Vinous
The 2018 Tertre-Rôteboeuf is a rich, heady Saint-Émilion. Ripe, flamboyant and creamy, the 2018 captures all of the opulence of the vintage. Black fruit, bittersweet chocolate, spice, new leather and tobacco gradually open in the glass, but the 2018 is a dense, plush wine that needs time to show all it has to offer. The bouquet displays a bit of reduction, so opening the wine in advance and possibly decanting, are advisable. As always, François Mitjavile crafts one of the most distinctive wines in all of Bordeaux.
