Château Le Tertre Roteboeuf
François Mitjavile is the owner of Château Le Tertre Roteboeuf, a five and a half hectare estate which literally translates to 'the hill of the burping beef' referring to the oxen that used to work the steep hills on the edge of the Saint-Émilion limestone plateau.
François produces just 2000 cases a year of this rich, concentrated, stylish wine which, in recent vintages has wooed many leading wine critics. It is good enough to be re-classified as a Grand Cru Classé or even a Premier Grand Cru Classé in our opinion.
