I, and a host of London’s top sommeliers and journalists, were incredibly privileged to join owner Louis Mitjavile for a masterclass and lunch at Goodman back in May for what was an incredibly illuminating afternoon.
For those unaware of who Louis is and what his father François Mitjavile’s impact have been on Bordeaux, the name that might be more familiar is Tertre Roteboeuf.
Originally founded in 1975 it is an offshoot of Château Bellefont-Belcier, on a prime position at the southern edge of St-Emilion’s famed limestone plateau, next-door to Château Pavie and in front of Château Troplong Mondot.
