Château Tertre Roteboeuf 2005

Château Tertre Roteboeuf 2005 is a striking expression of Cabernet Franc from one of Saint-Émilion’s most admired names. Produced by François Mitjavile, it is known for its remarkable concentration, lush texture, and the kind of depth that has made the estate a benchmark for opulent Bordeaux.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a dense ruby-purple color that hints at its richness. The nose is intensely aromatic, with layers of sweet blackcurrants, jammy cherries, licorice, and warm spice. The palate is full-bodied and generous, yet beautifully balanced by high but velvety tannins. Its texture is exceptionally polished, leading into an impressively long finish that lingers with depth and perfume. Built for longevity, this wine can be enjoyed now with air, but it also has the structure to age gracefully for many more years.

Production
Château Tertre Roteboeuf is based in Saint-Émilion, where the estate’s distinctive terroir and careful vineyard management have helped shape its famously rich style. The 2005 vintage benefited from an exceptional Bordeaux growing season, allowing the Cabernet Franc to reach superb ripeness and concentration. Vinification focuses on preserving intensity and texture, resulting in a wine that is both powerful and finely detailed.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with roasted lamb, duck, beef fillet, game birds, and dishes featuring mushrooms or truffles. Serve it at 16–18°C, and decant for at least 1–2 hours if opening now, especially to allow the wine’s aromatic complexity and supple structure to fully unfold.
