The knockout '95 will be a mandatory purchase for fans of this singular St. Emilion. Proprietor François Mitjavile, always a late picker, did not start his harvest at Tertre-Rôteboeuf until September 28th and brought in fruit with potential alcohol of 13.3%. (In his Côte de Bourg property, Roc de Cambes, he had potential alcohol of 13.7!). While the vintage does not offer the surmaturité that characterized '89 and '90 here, there was thorough ripeness, according to Mitjavile. The two crus express themselves fully, he says; they are totally different from each other in '95. The Tertre-Rôteboeuf finishes its malolactic fermentation in new barrels; in the case of Roc de Cambes, 90% of the malo was done in barriques.
