The 2020 Tertre-Rôteboeuf is stunning. It’s not quite the 2016, but it comes awfully close. Who knows in time where this will go? A vibrant, explosive Saint-Émilion, the 2020 Tertre-Rôteboeuf sizzles with tension and energy. Black cherry, gravel, spice, espresso and chocolate stain the palate with tremendous intensity and sheer nuance. Tightly wound and full of energy, the 2020 is simply magnificent.

Francois Mitjavile’s tiny 6 hectare estate, planted with 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc, breaks the St Emilion mould. It offers a very different style to the rest of the appellation but is entirely worthy of its almost cult-like following. Not for the faint-hearted at comfortably over 15% alcohol, but it is to Francois’s eternal credit that tasting this wine, you are oblivious to the alcohol. It is the complexity of layered sweet autumnal fruits and soft rounded tannins that provide the overall sensation. Francois rates this amongst the very best he has produced.
