Château Tertre Roteboeuf – Saint-Émilion Grand Cru – Red – 1989:

 

The Distinctive Excellence of Tertre Roteboeuf, Saint-Émilion

Regarded as a true ‘vin de garage’ pioneer, Château Tertre Roteboeuf stands apart in Bordeaux. Under the unique vision of François Mitjavile, this small Saint-Émilion Grand Cru estate consistently produces a wine of staggering depth and individuality, rooted in its exceptional clay-limestone terroir.

Sommelier’s Flavour Profile

• Appearance: Saturated, deep ruby-purple.
• Aroma: An exuberant bouquet of dark, crushed berries, black fig, cedar, dark chocolate, and an unmistakable earthy truffle note.
• Taste: The palate is generous and full, yet maintains remarkable balance. It features a lush, velvety mouthfeel with ripe, sweet tannins that carry the exotic fruit through a powerful, long, and spicy finish. It’s an intensely pleasurable, singular expression of the Right Bank.

Food Pairing & Decanting

This wine is a sensational centerpiece for a special occasion. We recommend serving it with rich cuts of beef or game. Decanting is highly advised, especially for younger vintages, to allow the complex aromatics to fully unfold. Serve slightly below room temperature (17°C).
