    (65 Merlot, 36 Cabernet Franc – clearly this doesn’t add up to 100%, but I asked twice. It doesn’t surprise me that there is more than 100% in this wine though because, as you will know, it is unique and always very special!) At the moment, the aromatic allure of this wine transcends all others in this vintage. The exoticism and perfume is fascinating and hypnotic with awe-inspiring complexity and layers of fruit and spice. The palate doesn’t miss a beat either with silkiness and succulence followed by freshness and delicacy. The length is admirable, ravishing the palate for minutes. With heroic length and awesome tenderness, I noted some fabulous Barolo-like, sour cherry notes which sauntered into view while I swirled my glass. Nothing short of thrilling from start to finish, this is a wine with quite low acid but it has such fresh ‘confit’ fruit. The tannins are certainly firm and earthy but this matches the gloriously wild complexity. As winemaker François Mitjaville whizzes around, decanting and pouring for a fairly large group of multi-national tasters, finding the next wine, going out one door and back in through another, something superbly funny happens. While he is out, one of the girls, new to the property, doesn’t hear the instructions to spit into the drain in the corner of the cellar. Instead she neatly spits into François’ white, china topping up jug much to her translator’s amusement. I think I am the only other person who spots this, but I cannot bring myself to tell the great man, reasoning that this will only add even more complexity to this already mesmerising wine.

  • Decanter, April 2015, Score: 91

    Harvested 15 October. Round, plush and seductive. Tender, fresh tannins balance the mellow aspect. Confit, toasted notes then soft, caressing palate. Expressive fruit. Low acidity but as always characterful and harmonious. Drink: 2020-2032

  • Jancis Robinson, April 2015, Score: 18

    80% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc. Almost a dangerous 3.9 pH and alcohol almost 14%. Deep crimson. Amazingly rich on the nose with some hints of confit cherries. Very exotic and quite different from any other 2014 I have tasted. Very sweet and ripe but the structure is absolutely not drying on the end. So luscious and seductive. Like cherry jam but not sickly or heavy. Exceptional! 14% Drink 2019-2032

  • Tim Atkin, May 2015, Score: 95

    The wines from this château are always the most poised and elegant of Saint Emilion, showing a refinement that nods towards Burgundy. That’s the case here: smoky, textured and savoury with fine-boned tannins, succulent red and black fruits and a warming, slightly too alcoholic finish. Drink: 2022-30

The oddly named Tetre Roteboeuf (hill of the belching beef) - so called after the oxen used to till the soil - exploded onto the scene in in the 1980's with Francois Mitjavile, the unique winemaker at the helm. His determination and single-mindedness to produce wines comparable to those from the likes of Pétrus and Lafleur in intensity and extract, in his vineyard southeast of St.Emilion, have apparently paid off.The 5.7 hectares of vineyards are planted with 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc. Mitjavile's harvests his grapes late - the grapes must be perfectly ripe, resulting in raisin-like lusciousness (Tertre Roteboeuf's trademark) and he keeps his yields small. He uses 100% new oak for the 18-22months of ageing. Parker states in his Bordeaux guide: "Le tertre Roteboeuf is irrefutably one of Bordeaux's superstars."Read less

Region

St Emilion

South of Pomerol lies the medieval, perched village of St Emilion. Surrounding St Emilion are vines that produce round, rich and often hedonistic wines. Despite a myriad of soil types, two main ones dominate - the gravelly, limestone slopes that delve down to the valley from the plateau and the valley itself which is comprised of limestone, gravel, clay and sand. Despite St Emilion's popularity today, it was not until the 1980s to early 1990s that attention was brought to this region. Robert Parker, the famous wine critic, began reviewing their Merlot-dominated wines and giving them hefty scores. The rest is history as they say. Similar to the Médoc, there is a classification system in place which dates from 1955 and outlines several levels of quality. These include its regional appellation of St Emilion, St Emilion Grand Cru, St Emilion Grand Cru Classé and St Emilion Premier Grand Cru Classé, which is further divided into "A" (Ausone and Cheval Blanc) and "B" (including Angélus, Canon, Figeac and a handful of others). To ensure better accuracy, the classification is redone every 10 years enabling certain châteaux to be upgraded or downgraded depending on on the quality of their more recent vintages.
