Description
Tertre Roteboeuf is one of Saint-Émilion’s most sought-after cult estates, run by François Mitjavile and renowned for its opulent, velvety Merlot-driven style. The 1995 vintage captures the richness of a warm, generous year on the Right Bank, now beautifully mature after almost three decades in bottle.
In the glass, the wine shows deep garnet hues with aromas of black cherry, fig, tobacco, cedar, and truffle. The palate is silky and expansive, balancing ripe fruit with savoury notes of leather and spice. Long, elegant, and lingering — a benchmark example of the estate’s unique, seductive character.
This is drinking at peak maturity, ideal for those who appreciate fully developed Bordeaux.
An ideal partner for a Sunday roast of beef or lamb, where its truffle and tobacco notes melt beautifully into the richness of the meat.

Reviews
This is the third vintage (1989 and 1990 were the other two) where Le Tertre-Roteboeuf exhibits a Le Pin-like exotic richness and opulence. The wine exhibits a dense ruby/purple colour, and a compelling set of aromatics consisting of pain grille, ripe black cherry and cassis fruit, intermixed with truffles, mocha, and toffee. Dense and full-bodied, with layers of intensely ripe fruit, this plump, gorgeously pure, expansively flavoured, multidimensional wine is even better out of bottle than it was in cask. 95 Points Robert parker
