Saint Emilion Grand Cru
Tertre Rôteboeuf
belongs to François Mitjavile. There should be more winemakers like him. The
unique terroir is situated on top of St. Emilion next to Troplong Mondot at St.
Laurent de Combes. A part of the terroir is made of real limestone where the
vine finds a very good source of water which contains a certain minerality.
There is also the exposition to the sun and its small surface (5.75ha). Mr Mitjavile waits until the grapes are
extremely ripe and until the seeds taste like burnt coffee. He harvests at the
moment that the skin of the grape has become very fragile. The techniques that
he applies are very simple, but the fruit is of incredibly good quality. Tertre
Rôteboeuf has become a real cult wine which wine lovers search for worldwide. Do
also read the comments on Roc de Cambes, Dom. De Cambes and l’Aurage, wines of
the same family.
