In Portrait:

Château Le Tertre-Roteboeuf

Château Le Tertre-Roteboeuf is a cult, small family estate on the south-eastern edge of Saint-Émilion. Old, densely planted vines produce low yields with high aromatic concentration. The work is radically artisanal: meticulous canopy and yield management, strict selective hand harvesting in several passes, slow fermentation with very gentle extraction and patient ageing mainly in French oak. Stylistically, Tertre-Roteboeuf shows an unmistakable combination of depth and floating elegance.

Bordeaux

Origin in Focus

Bordeaux

Bordeaux is one of the world’s most renowned wine regions – a name that has stood for elegance, diversity and ageing potential for centuries. Gravel, clay and limestone soils alternate, allowing fine nuances in the wines that reflect both terroir and craftsmanship.

Bordeaux is typically known for blends in which grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc work together harmoniously.

Stylistically, red Bordeaux wines are defined by a balance of fruit, structure and freshness. The white wines – usually made from Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon and sometimes Muscadelle – range from crisp and citrus-driven to creamy and complex.
