Deep garnet purple colored, the 2017 Chateau Le Tertre Roteboeuf offers up gorgeous wild blueberries, crushed blackcurrants and redcurrants notes with touches of lavender, violets, Sichuan pepper and cloves plus a waft of anise. The medium to full-bodied palate is very firm with ripe, grainy tannins and wonderful freshness and depth, finishing very long with some exotic spices coming through. WA 96-98 Points, By Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate.
Chateau Le Tertre Roteboeuf is a high ranking Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Classes property. It makes a single wine from Merlot with a small amount of Cabernet Franc, which is known for being rich and intense in the best years.
Around 2000 cases a year are produced from a tiny six hectare (14 acre) vineyard on a steep slope at the edge of Saint-Emilion's famous limestone plateau. The terroir is slightly cooler than a majority of other Saint-Emilion properties and so the vines are trained closer to the ground. This microclimate means that Chateau La Tertre Roteboeuf is usually one of the last in the region to finish picking, but also contributes to the richer style of wine produced.
