2023, Domaine de Cambes, CÔTES DE BOURG

Last Year EP $74.00-

This wine is made from a 6 hectare section of the Roc de Cambes vineyard that is only entitled to the straight Bordeaux appellation. In the past only 20% new oak was used but Francois Mitjavile now thinks that the quality of the fruit deserves 100% new Radoux blend barrels.
2023 is a blend of 80% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc.

Deep garnet-purple in colour, the 2023 Domaine de Cambes comes bounding out with exuberant notes of baked plums, ripe boysenberries, and wild sage leading to hints of black truffle and fragrant soil. The medium to full-bodied palate has lovely tension and a firm texture of grippy tannins supporting the generous fruit, finishing long and earthy.
90-92 Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW

The 2023 Domaine des Cambes is endowed with serious depth and intensity. Swaths of tannin wrap around a core of dark red plum, blood orange, spice, new leather and cedar. Floral, citrus and spice overtones reappear on the finish, adding raciness and flair. A wine of real substance, Domaine de Cambes should be terrific after a few years in bottle.
90-92 Antonio Galloni

François and Émile Mitjavile owners at this good quality estate located next to the river Garonne below Château Roc de Cambes. Spicy, tight in its tannic frame with dark blue fruits and raspberry leaf aromatics.
