🍷 Cult Classic from the Côte Pavie Slopes
✨ In the Glass
Deep garnet with a velvety, opaque core and bright ruby rim.
👃 On the Nose
A hedonistic swirl of black cherry, ripe plum, cassis and exotic spices, interwoven with hints of dark chocolate, truffle, and espresso roast.
💥 On the Palate
Luxurious and opulent. Lush, layered fruit rolls over the tongue—blackberry liqueur, fig, and cedar—with silky tannins and mouth-coating richness. The balance of power and finesse leads into a hauntingly long, resonant finish.
🍽️ Food Pairing
Pair with beef Wellington, roast duck with cherry glaze, or aged Comté for a decadent experience.
⏳ Ageing Potential
15–25 years in great vintages. Gains even more complexity with age as earthy, savoury notes emerge.
💘 Why You’ll Love It
From the visionary François Mitjavile, this cult wine is one of Saint-Émilion’s most sensual and expressive offerings. Tertre Rotebœuf marries bold Merlot fruit with fine-grained elegance—a wine of both emotion and prestige.
