Description

This is the second wine from Domaine Roc de Cambes. Bought in 1988 by François Mitjavile, owner of Tertre Roteboeuf, this estate has rapidly become a benchmark in Côte de Bourg. Situated on the banks of the Gironde, near Bourg, the vineyards, planted on gentle slopes, benefit from a special microclimate: the river moderates the winters and protects the vines from frost. A natural balance that makes all the difference.

Vintage 2024 blend: 100% Merlot

Vinous : “The 2017 Domaine des Cambes is a blend of around 65% Merlot and 35% Cabernet Franc. The 2017 has a very Burgundy-like bouquet with wonderful, pure blackberry, briary and clove aromas unfurling on the nose, though it remains a little tighter than the Domaine de l’Aurage. The palate has an edgy quality that I admire. A subtle marine influence with hints of Japanese nori permeates the dusky black fruit on the finish. A hint of dark chocolate on the aftertaste. Excellent.”
