"Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2015 Roc de Cambes displays very pure notes of blackcurrant, blackberry, and plum with hints of cigar box, anise, and lavender. The medium-bodied palate offers generous fruit, superb concentration and freshness with firm, grainy tannins and a hint of herbs on the finish. " (Wine Advocate 2018 - Robert Parker).

Wine rated (2019 guide) 17/20 (Reference wine)
Rated estate (2021 guide) 4 stars (Producers of very high quality, the pride of French vineyards)
About the estate:
This Côtes-de-Bourg wine by François Mitjavile is located on a south-facing clay-limestone hill. The brilliant owner of Tertre-Rotebœuf (in Saint-Émilion) developed it with the same meticulous attention to detail to create a great wine. With a neighboring but very different terroir, more alluvial, Cambes is not a second wine but another expression, more supple and velvety, of the talent of François Mitjavile and his daughter Nina. Both wines have their own personality in recent vintages, which is original and brilliant, far from the polished and conventional Bordeaux style!

About wine:
Another astonishing Roc de Cambes, with aromas of smoky black berries and a juicy palate of ripe fruit and smooth tannins. It's bloody good. Tasted in April 2016.

Rated estate (2022 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing good-quality wines; you won't be disappointed when tasting the wines from these estates)
About the estate:
Here is a property that piques the curiosity of enthusiasts looking for a unique Bordeaux style. Inspired by François Mitjavile of Château Tertre Rotebœuf in Saint-Émilion, production consists of the Cambes estate (Bordeaux, located in the marshes) and Château Roc de Cambes (Côte-de-Bourg, on the hillsides). The latter is defined by highly mature grapes, aged in the traditional manner, using the finest products from the Radoux cooperage. The wines, instantly recognizable with their intense, very woody noses when young, age with charm, but may tire some palates looking for a fresh and thirst-quenching bottle. The "small vintages," with lower levels of ripeness, often stand out as real successes, as in 2007. A unique style, but sometimes divisive.
