Weinwisser: "Dicht verwobenes Bouquet, schwarzbeerige Konturen, dunkles Graphit, verführerische Walderdbeere, getrockneter Thymian und Iris-Duft. Am komplexen Gaumen mit seidiger Textur, fein pfeffrigem Extrakt, balancierter Rasse und engmaschigem Tanningerüst sowie athletischem Körper. Im konzentrierten, langanhaltenden Finale Wildkirsche, geröstete Himbeerkerne, Graphit und erhabene Adstringenz. Ich bin von der grandiosen Klarheit und Eleganz völlig gefesselt, kann noch zulegen."

Wine Advocate: "The 2021 Le Tertre Roteboeuf is extremely promising, unwinding in the glass with aromas of cherries, mulberries and plums mingled with subtle hints of spices, raw cocoa, espresso roast and cigar wrapper. Medium to full-bodied, ample and seamless, it's deep and concentrated, with a layered, sensual mid-palate that's supple and lively, concluding with a long, expansive finish. This is just the sort of vintage that François Mitjaville excels in, and it is worth a special effort to seek out."

Galloni: "The 2021 Tertre-Rôteboeuf is a wine very much in its style, which means deep, fleshy and unctuous. Black cherry, gravel, chocolate, cloves and menthol infuse the 2021 deep layers of intensity that build in the glass. Even in 2021, Tertre-Rôteboeuf is a wine of real texture and dynamism. As always, Tertre-Rôteboeuf is an exotic, quirky wine that exists in its own little world, and what a beautiful world that is."

Neal Martin: "The 2021 Tertre-Rôteboeuf was tasted directly from barrel à la Bourgogne. (Why don't more châteaux do this, if logistically convenient?) It has a comparatively less explosive, gourmand bouquet compared to vintages that I have tasted at this stage in recent years, featuring dark berries, hints of blueberry, iris flower and an underlying mineralité that only surfaces after 3–4 minutes in the glass. The harmonious palate is an absolute stunner. It delivers brilliant delineation and purity, one of the most energetic Tertre-Rôtebouefs that I have encountered, and a dash of black pepper on the finish. I have to confess: I had to have a sneaky sip of this."

Dunnuck: "I loved the 2021 Château Terte Roteboeuf, and this exotic, medium to full-bodied beauty certainly makes the most of the vintage. Cassis, vanilla tinged cherries, graphite, and tobacco leaf all define the bouquet, and it's medium to full-bodied, with terrific balance, sweet tannins, and more charm and character than most in the vintage. It's well worth seeking out."

Perroti-Brown: "Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2021 Tertre Roteboeuf is a little reduced to begin, soon giving way to black fruit notes of fresh blackberries, black cherries, and mulberries, followed by suggestions of tar, violets, licorice, and cracked black pepper. Medium-bodied, the palate is firm and grainy with many finely-packed layers of black fruits and earthy notions, framed by ripe, rounded tannins and beautiful freshness, finishing on a lingering black truffle note."

Wine Cellar Insider: "Flowers, spice, crushed stone, savory red fruit, raspberries, 5 spice, cinnamon, cherries and peppery spices create on the most compelling noses of the vintage. On the palate, the wine is earthy, lush, round and continues in the spicy mode in the mid-palate all the way through to the finish. The blend is 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc, 14% ABV, the harvest took place October 5 - October 15. Drink from 2024-2045."
