CHATEAU ROC DE CAMBES, 2015

COTES-DE-BOURG

“The 2015 Roc des Cambes has an incredibly pure bouquet that is as much Côtes de Nuits as Côtes de Bourg! [...] François Mitjavile's wine always benefits from 3-4 years in bottle, although I would not begrudge anyone succumbing to temptation earlier.” - Robert Parker

History and anecdotes

François Mitjavile, Château Tertre’s owner in Saint-Emilion, bought Château Roc de Cambes in 1988 and quickly made it a major reference in the Côtes-de-Bourg appellation. The estate is nowadays run by his daughter, Nina Mitjavile.
