Château Tertre Roteboeuf 1998

Château Tertre Roteboeuf 1998 is a striking and highly individual Bordeaux from one of the Right Bank’s most admired cult estates. Made primarily from Cabernet Franc, it is known for its lavish style, remarkable concentration, and the kind of personality that has made the château a benchmark for collectors seeking something both powerful and expressive.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this wine shows the depth and maturity expected from a finely aged 1998 Bordeaux, with a dark, evolved core and a polished, impressive presence. The nose is famously flamboyant, unfolding with roasted espresso, chocolate fudge, blackberry, Asian spice, and kirsch, all delivered with dramatic intensity and purity. On the palate, it is full-bodied, layered, and unctuous, with generous fruit, glycerin-rich texture, and a hedonistic finish that remains compelling even with age. While it is already approachable, it also has the structure and depth to continue aging gracefully for many more years.

Production
Château Tertre Roteboeuf is located in Bordeaux’s Right Bank, where the clay- and limestone-driven terroir lends itself well to Cabernet Franc’s aromatic complexity and supple depth. The estate is known for its meticulous approach and low-yield philosophy, with careful harvesting aimed at preserving ripeness and concentration. Vinification is focused on crafting a richly textured, expressive wine that emphasizes purity of fruit, volume, and longevity.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with rich, savory dishes such as roast lamb, duck breast, beef tenderloin, truffle-based preparations, and mature hard cheeses. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for at least 1–2 hours if opening now to allow its layered aromatics and texture to fully раскры.

Producer
