2025, Château Tertre Roteboeuf, SAINT-ÉMILION, Grand Cru

2025 is 80% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc.

The 2025 Tertre Rôteboeuf is shaping up to be a jewel of a wine. Silky and seamless on the palate, with exceptional finesse, the 2025 marries power with elegance in grand style. Crushed flowers, blue-toned fruit, mocha and a kiss of French oak expand in the glass. Tertre Rôteboeuf is quite rich and deep, as it always is, but the 2025 also offers superb freshness and energy to match. It's a gorgeous Saint-Émilion in the making. 2033-2055. 95-97 Antonio Galloni, Vinous

This is right up there at the top of the vintage, there is still the roasted plum aspect of Tertre Roteboeuf but you feel the juice and salinity of the vintage running through it. These guys stick to their beliefs and their style, and we are all the better for it. 98 Jane Anson, Inside Bordeaux.
