The 2015 Le Tertre Roteboeuf is deep garnet-purple in color with a gorgeous nose of baked cherries, warm plums, crème de cassis and mulberries with touches of rare beef, violets, mocha, Chinese five spice and fertile loam. Full-bodied, rich, spicy and with firm, grainy tannins, it has seamless freshness and a very long, spicy finish. This is wonderfully seamless and harmonious.

The 2015 Le Tertre Rôteboeuf is thrilling, profound stuff and has the sunny, sexy style of the vintage front and center. A dense purple color is followed by an awesome perfume of kirsch, sweet cassis, toasted spice, and graphite. Full-bodied, powerful, and incredibly flamboyant, it still has loads of tannins, a stacked mid-palate, and awesome purity of fruit. It needs 4-5 years of bottle age and will last for 2+ decades.

A heady, exotic wine, the 2015 Tertre-Rôteboeuf exudes richness and intensity. Super-ripe dark cherry, plum, espresso, chocolate, spice and licorice infuse this voluptuous, racy Saint-Émilion. Dense, powerful and explosive, it just gets better and better with time in the glass. Super-ripe cherry and plum fruit are laced with scents of tobacco, licorice, incense and white truffle that add nuance. What a gorgeous wine this is! Proprietor François Mitjavile isn't afraid to be a contrarian. While many estates opt for shorter aging, Mitjavile gives his wine two full years in 100% new oak and also keeps the cellar on the warm side during the winter months. The 2015 was bottled in September 2017.

About the Producer
This Grand Cru property situated in the commune St. Laurent-des-Combes, a few kilometres south of of Saint-Emilion is a small vigneron house that was built in the 18th century. The properties name "Roteboeuf" comes from the hillside that was used to feed the cattle back in time many centuries ago. Francois took over the estate in 1978 from his father in law (Gilard Family), and his breakthrough vintage was 1985. A new cult wine was born and since then the quality has improved immensely. Now Tertre Roteboeuf can easily compete with Premier Grand Cru Classes in Saint-Emilion and even challenge first growths.
