Château Tertre-Rôteboeuf

Producer description of "Tertre Roteboeuf Chateau"

The vineyard is located in the commune of Saint-Laurent-des-Combes in the south-east of the Saint-Émilion area (Bordeaux). It is classified as a Grand Cru Classé, although experts often claim a higher rank (Premier Grand Cru Classé B or even A). The building was constructed in 1730. After two years of training at Château Figeac, the family estate was taken over by François Mitjavile in 1977, who added "Rôteboeuf" to the name. Since then, his son of the same name has continued the tradition. The term "Côte Roteboeuf", which still appears on old maps, literally means "hill of belching cattle". This is derived from the oxen that used to pull the plough on the farmland belonging to the estate. The term Château has not been used on the label since 1994.
