CHATEAU TERTRE ROTEBOEUF
At the end of the seventies, François Mitjavile took control of the estate his wife inherited from her father and named it Tertre Roteboeuf. The estate was already listed in the 1929 edition of the Feret guide (the Bordeaux vineyards “bible”). François Mitjavile came back to old methods by re-establishing the permanent grass cover cropping and by reducing vines’ height. Success was not long in coming: the 1982 vintage tasting placed it at the same level as the greatest with a delicious fruitiness and surprising evolving flavours.

François Mitjavile, Château Tertre’s owner in Saint-Emilion, bought Château Roc de Cambes in 1988 and quickly made it a major reference in the Côtes-de-Bourg appellation. The estate is nowadays run by his daughter, Nina Mitjavile.
