Château du TertreRoteboeuf St-Emilion 2016
About this product
Beginning with his first vintage at Tertre Roteboeuf in 1978, François Mitjavile didn’t need long to grow his (staunchly!) unclassified estate into one of the most respected names in St Emilion. Part winemaker, part philosopher, Mitjavile is one of the great characters of Bordeaux. He could be considered almost Burgundian in his approach - the opulence and grandeur are for his wines, not his front gate, the cellars are not gilded halls and statues.

Full bodied red wines have a noticeably textural mouthfeel with bold, complex flavours. Often deeply coloured.

Medium deep crimson. Beautiful complex dried roses, cherry, smoky oak aromas.
Supple and sweet with lovely dried roses, leafy notes, fine al dente tannins and
beautiful rich toasty/ roasted chesnut oak. Superb slinky dry tannins. Sensuous wine
with chewy long finish. Wonderful and different.
