When to Drink Tertre Roteboeuf, Anticipated Maturity, Decanting Time

Tertre Roteboeuf is much better with at least 8-10 years of aging in good vintages. Young vintages can be decanted for 2-3 hours or more

This allows the wine to soften and open its perfume. Older vintages might need very little decanting, just enough to remove the sediment. Tertre Roteboeuf offers its best drinking and should reach peak maturity between 10-30 years of age after the vintage.

Serving and Decanting Tertre Roteboeuf with Wine and Food Pairing Tips

Tertre Roteboeuf is best served at 15.5 degrees Celsius, 60 degrees Fahrenheit. The cool, almost cellar temperature gives the wine more freshness and lift.

Tertre Roteboeuf is best served with all types of classic meat dishes, veal, pork, beef, lamb, duck, game, roast chicken, roasted, braised, and grilled dishes. Tertre Roteboeuf is a perfect match with Asian dishes, hearty fish courses like tuna, salmon mushrooms, and pasta as well as cheese.

Tertre Roteboeuf Character and Style

Tertre Roteboeuf produces a unique style of Bordeaux wine from St. Emilion. There are a few reasons for this. First, there is no second wine.

The reason behind this according to François Mitjavile is, at Tertre Roteboeuf they are not only looking to produce the best wine possible. They also truly want each year to resemble the character of the vintage.

Ripe years should taste like fruit from ripe vintages. Lesser vintages should in turn, represent what the vineyards were able to do as well. In part, because the fruit is picked late, the wine of Tertre Roteboeuf offers a unique, powerful, crushed raspberry and mineral perfume, along with black cherry, licorice, and elements of kirsch.

The wine of Tertre Roteboeuf is rich, racy, and plush. With age, the wine develops exotic, opulent textures and aromatic qualities. However, it does not seem to make old bones. The wine might be best between 15 and 25 years of age, depending on the vintage.

The Mitjavile family owns two other Bordeaux properties; Domaine lAurage in Cotes de Castillon and Roc de Cambes in the appellation of Cotes de Bourg. LouisMitjavile and Caroline Mitjavile are completely in charge of the Cotes de Bordeaux property. You can expect to hear more about Louis Mitjavile as his consultancy business continues picking up more wineries.
