A superb Côtes de Bourg which is in no way inferior to many crus classés: generous, highly refined, and a marvellous ageing potential.

Roc de Cambes 1990
The wine
Roc de Cambes, made mainly with Merlot (60%), has good structure and presents excellent concentration. On tasting, it develops delicious chocolaty aromas. A magnificent wine: the very best of the Libournais region.
About the Producer Roc de Cambes
Purchased in 1988 by François Mitjavile (the owner of Tertre Roteboeuf), this domaine has managed, within a few years, to establish itself as one of the Côtes de Bourg's outstanding wines, capable of rivalling Saint Emilion's finest. Located on the banks of the Gironde, near the town of Bourg, the vineyard lies on sloping ground with a particularly favourable microclimate: the proximity of the river acts as a buffer against the cold and protects it against frost.
