Ripe fruit, dusty tannins, bright acidity, long alluring finish.

"This wine is made from a section of the Roc de Cambes vineyard that is only entitled to the straight Bordeaux appellation. It lies further south, down the slope, creating a cooler terroir with clayey soil. 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. 55% Merlot, 40% Cabernet, 5% Malbec. Around 16,000 bottles are produced from 6 hectares of vines." 

 — winemaker's notes

"Domaine de Cambes is that UFO that attracts the curious and Bordeaux lovers with a strong style. Inspired and supported by her father François Mitjaville, who runs Château Tertre Roteboeuf in Saint-Émilion, Nina Mitjaville keeps the family style alive at Domaine de Cambes (in the paluds in AOC Bordeaux) and Château Roc de Cambes (Côte-de-Bourg on the hillsides).

"We must also take into account Louis, known as "Loulou" who also develops the family style at Domaine de l'Aurage, in Castillon, in Côtes de Bordeaux.

"The Mitjaville family is not only a family of winegrowers, it is a family of enthusiasts who develop a style by playing on all the parameters: the vagaries of the climate, special pruning of the vine, manual and meticulous harvesting to obtain grapes at optimal ripeness, blending after careful pressing... To this, we can add a mature reflection on the different terroirs on which the family members have settled."
