Château Tertre Rotebœuf

Ideally situated on the southern slope of St-Émilion (renowned in the Bordeaux region as the pinnacle of slope wines), Château Tertre Rotebœuf is likely the most unique terroir in the area. This vineyard, of Gallo-Roman origin, benefits from a rare microclimate, as it consists solely of hillsides facing south-southeast (slightly toward the rising sun). The vintages vary greatly (there is no second wine), but they are characterized by a beautiful deep color and a rich bouquet of very ripe fruit. On the palate, the wines are full-bodied and display a rich, evolving aromatic complexity. Château Tertre Rotebœuf is often described as “the Burgundy of Bordeaux.”
