Tertre Roteboeuf, Roc de Cambes, Domaine de Cambes & L’Aurage 2024

Met veel plezier introduceren we jaargang 2024 van Château Tertre Roteboeuf, Roc de Cambes, Domaine de Cambes & Domaine de L’Aurage.

De regen verzachtte de polyfenolen. De fotosynthese – het proces waarbij de druivenstok met behulp van zonlicht suikers en zuurstof aanmaakt – bracht een aromatische helderheid die je zelden ziet. De stijl is lichtvoetig, zuiver, met souplesse in plaats van kracht.

De markt is voorzichtig, maar Mitjavile noemt 2024 “een kostbaar genot.” Juist omdat deze expressieve stijl zeldzaam is. En omdat de opbrengst beperkt blijft, is het een jaar voor wie kiest met aandacht.

 "The 2024 Tertre Rôteboeuf is a classic wine from Francois Mitjaville. Texturally, Tertre-Rôteboeuf is unlike any wine in Bordeaux, especially in its mid-palate creaminess. Sweet floral and spice notes meld into macerated cherry, kirsch, blood orange, menthol and sweet French oak. In 2024, Tertre-Rôteboeuf is perhaps a touch lighter than other years, but it largely makes up for that with its persistence and a saline-infused finish laced with high-toned red fruit notes. As always, Tertre-Rôteboeuf is the last site Mitjaville picks. All of this fruit was brought in during the first days of October. Tertre Rôteboeuf remains one of the most idiosyncratic wines in Bordeaux. The 2024 is a fine edition." - Vinous, 94-96 punten

 "The 2024 Roc de Cambes is a potent, wild wine. Strong Cabernet Sauvignon inflections meld into a core of potent dark-toned fruit. Grilled herbs, cinnamon, menthol and dried flowers are nicely amplified. The 2024 clearly needs time to come together, but it is promising. This coheres nicely with time in the glass, suggesting all that is required is patience." - Vinous, 91-93 punten

 "As is always the case chez Mitjaville, the wines are idiosyncratic in their ripeness and handling of oak. Here, the colour is a mid ruby and the nose is one of confit berries, tropical fruit and that coconut and game spice that comes from the Radoux blend. The palate, too, shows a maturity of fruit both in sweetness and in age, gaining savoury complexity against quite pithy tannins. This is a crunchy texture for Domaine de Cambes, but the flavour profile is all there for lovers of this wine." - Thomas Parker, 89-91 punten

"The 2024 Domaine de L'Aurage is redolent of macerated cherry, new leather, brown sugar, cedar and mulling spices. Time in the glass brings out exotic floral overtones that are incredibly distinctive. Creamy and layered on the palate, with fine persistence, L'Aurage is quite attractive in 2024." - Vinous, 90-92 punten
