"An irresistible vintage, an explosive beauty!"
"The 2019 Roc de Cambes has revealed itself brilliantly, offering aromas of blackcurrant, sweet berries, cigar wrapper and rich spices, followed by a full-bodied, layered, elegantly muscular, deep and concentrated palate, its fleshy core of fruit framed by ripe acids and ripe, powdery tannins. This isa fine vintage that is likely to trample on 2016. Despite its modest appellation, don't hesitate to cellar it, as Roc de Cambes is invariably better integrated and more interesting with a decade on the clock than on release." (Wine Advocate 2022).

Domaine rated (guide 2021) 4*Stars (Top-quality producers, the glories of French winegrowing)
About the domain :
This Côtes-de-Bourg by François Mitjavile is situated on a south-facing clay-limestone terroir. The brilliant owner of Tertre-Rotebœuf (in Saint-Émilion) has developed it with the same meticulous attention to detail to make a great wine. With a similar 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, and this one proves to be original and brilliant, far from the polished and conventional Bordeaux!

About the wine:
The 2019 Roc de Cambes revealed itself brilliantly, offering aromas of cassis, sweet berries, cigar wrapper, second floor and rich spice, followed by a full-bodied, layered, elegantly muscular, deep and concentrated palate, its fleshy core of fruit framed by ripe acids and ripe, powdery tannins. This is a fine effort that risks trampling the 2016. Despite its modest appellation, don't hesitate to cellar it, as Roc de Cambes is invariably better integrated and more interesting with a decade on the clock than on release.

Domaine rated (guide 2022) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winemakers with good production levels, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the domain :
Here's a property that will arouse the curiosity of wine lovers in search of a singular Bordeaux style. Inspired by François Mitjavile of Château Tertre Rotebœuf in Saint-Émilion, the estate's production includes Domaine de Cambes (Bordeaux, located in the paluds) and Château Roc de Cambes (Côte-de-Bourg, on the hillsides). The latter is characterized by grapes that reach a high level of ripeness, and are classically matured using the finest products from the Radoux cooperage. The wines, recognizable among a thousand, with intense, woody noses in their youth, age with charm, but may tire some palates in search of a fresh, thirst-quenching bottle. Smaller vintages", with lower levels of maturity, often stand out as real successes, like 2007. A singular, yet sometimes divisive style.
