Tertre Roteboeuf 2008 is a Right Bank Bordeaux blend from the Saint-Émilion appellation, crafted by winemaker François Mitjavile. This vintage displays an array of wild berry fruits alongside earthy notes, cedar and sous bois, all influenced by oak maturation. The wine exhibits a clear, structured profile with crisp acidity and supple tannins, which suggest a need for cellaring to fully integrate the flavours. Mitjavile’s approach combines tradition with innovation, emphasising minimal intervention in the winemaking process.
