This Roc de Cambes terroir produces a Bordeaux wine with a lovely dark garnet color, a bouquet of red fruits, a delicate hint of violets and great elegance. A supple yet concentrated red, with lots of fruit on the palate, very fleshy. Enjoy with red meat, for example...

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
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!

Domaine rated (guide 2022) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winemakers with a good level of production, 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.
