Chateau Tertre Roteboeuf 2024

WEINWISSER: "80 % Merlot, 20 % Cabernet Franc, 35 hl/ha. Betörendes würzig-fruchtiges Parfüm, reife Brombeere vermischt sich mit gerösteter Haselnuss, dahinter Waldhimbeere, berauschender Irisduft und Lakritze. Am komplexen, tiefgründigen Gaumen seidige Textur, engmaschiges Tanningerüst, balancierte Rasse und trainierter Körper. Im konzentrierten, aromatischen, energiegeladenen Finale Baumnuss, edle Cassiswürze und erhabene Adstringenz. "

VINUM: "Stark vom Ausbau geprägt, das Holz zur Zeit im Vordergrund, rote und dunkle Beeren, Veilchenaromen; Massen an süsser Frucht am Gaumen, ungemein kraftvoll, mit Druck und Körper, auch hier mit merklich Holz, doch dieses ist in Harmonie mit der Opulenz der Frucht, sehr hochwertige Gerbstoffe, stets präsent, nie dominant; ausgezeichnete Länge, viel Würze und reiffruchtige Rückaromen."

LISA PERROTTI-BROWN: "Deep garnet-purple colored. Needs a little swirling and coaxing to bring out notes of red currant jelly, kirsch, and fresh blackberries, leading to hints of sassafras, underbrush, and cinnamon stick. The medium-bodied palate is dense with ripe black and red berry flavors, supported by fine-grained tannins and seamless freshness, finishing long and opulent. Nice!"

FALSTAFF: "Pfeffrig, kräuterig, balsamische Hochreife, Kirsche, Piment. Am Gaumen ist das fest gebaut, mit körnigem, mineralisch unterlegtem Tannin, das makellos reif, höchstens ein klein wenig trocken ist. Den Fond bildet eine geschmeidige Fülle, der kräftige Alkohol wirkt nahtlos integriert, im Abgang mit sehr guter Länge blitzt das Aromenpotenzial auf."

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Flowers, spearmint, tobacco, plums, cherries, smoke, licorice, and truffles define the aromatic character. The palate is sweet, lively, and fresh, with juicy strawberries, red plums, black raspberries, and cherries, and a touch of smoked mint, that shines in the finish. The blend is 85% Merlot, with 15% Cabernet Franc, 13% ABV. Harvesting took place September 30 - October 1. Drink from 2028-2045."

ANSON: "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."

JEB DUNNUCK: "Tasted from multiple barrels, the 2024 Tertre Roteboeuf will easily be an outstanding wine, and it brings more richness and breadth than most. Ripe darker berries, framboise, and spicy wood notes all show on the nose, and it's a classic Mitjavile wine with its richer, layered, balanced, and fleshy style on the palate. As with all 2024s, it's not going to make you forget the recent slew of great vintages, but it's a solid success in the vintage that will offer ample pleasure with the clear signature of the château."

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "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."
