Description
An exceptional Saint-Émilion combining density and freshness
The estate
Château Tertre Roteboeuf, taken over in the late 1970s by François Mitjavile and his wife, spans 6 hectares in Saint-Laurent-des-Combes, on the southern slope of Saint-Émilion. Today managed by François Mitjavile with the growing involvement of his children Louis and Nina, this estate embodies a radically unconventional approach: very late harvests, low vine training, vinification without yeast or refrigeration, and extended aging. Recognized as a cult wine despite the absence of official classification, Tertre Roteboeuf represents Bordeaux artisanal excellence.
The vineyard
The vineyard of Château Tertre Roteboeuf is located in Saint-Émilion, on a clay hillside benefiting from a particularly favorable south-facing exposure. This privileged geographical location allows the vines to enjoy optimal sunlight, contributing to the exceptional concentration and ripeness of the grapes.
The vintage
The year 2010 is characterized by a marked drought that tested the vines. This water stress favored the production of small, dense berries. Ripening took place slowly, accompanied by cool nights in September that allowed for remarkable aromatic synthesis. This exceptional vintage combines the fleshy density resulting from the dry summer with the freshness and aromatic dynamism brought by the late ripening.
Grape varieties
This Château Tertre Roteboeuf 2010 wine is composed of Merlot and Cabernet Franc.
