Tasting Notes
Led by a floral bouquet, 2024 Tertre Roteboeuf is very subtle and delicate with white flowers, tea leaves and a hint of white pepper. There is a beautiful transparency to the palate, with opulent, silky tannins that are surrounded by ripe darker berries. It is dense and concentrated, yet there’s a weightless quality to the palate. With a savoury finish that lingers for minutes, this is a very beautiful wine that will need a few years to show its full potential. Harvested at 35hl/ha, aged in 100% new oak and with 13.5% alcohol.

The 2024 Le Tertre Roteboeuf offers up aromas of ripe berries mingled with notions of cigar wrapper, espresso roast, orange zest, smoked meats and cloves. Medium to full-bodied, it's unusually rich and broad for the vintage, framed by oak tannins that assert themselves on the somewhat carnal finish.
Deep ruby red, this has profound ink, damson and liqourice notes on the aromatics and opening, good grip and tension, only slowly opening to show its gourmet side, with cassis and raspberry pureee. Smoked sandalwood, incense and cherry pit add further layers, but this needs time to build. Harvesting first five days of October.
The 2024 Tertre-Roteboeuf came directly from the barrel à la Burgundy, as usual. It has a vivacious bouquet with pure black plum, cassis scents, crushed violets and light persimmon. The palate has a satin texture, with the oak a little more prominent since it came from new barriques, hints of cola and white pepper and a dab of dark chocolate towards the finish. This is a delightful '24 from François Mitjavile, perhaps without the dimension of a very top "T-R," though it deserves three or four years in the bottle.
