2019 Roc de Cambes, Cotes de Bourg 6x75cl

Roc de Cambes

Case Format: 75cl

Max score: NR

Roc de Cambes is planted to 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon. The Malbec and Cabernet Franc vines have been removed from the vineyard. Theterroir is mostly limestone and clay soils, similar to the Right Bank of Bordeaux, especially in Saint Emilion.Roc de Cambes is located in the Cotes de Bourg appellation. This Côtes de Bourg, probably the most famous in the world, is elegant, suave and immediately charming. Excellent in its callow youth, it also ages very well, developing the entire panoply of its aromas. A very great wine at the summitof its appellation area.

Neal Martin

The 2019 Roc de Cambes has an opulent bouquet with blueberry and black cherry scents, floral with a fair slathering of new oak. The palate is medium-bodied, quite toasty in style, with a lot of vanillary new oak, as the nose suggests, which occludes terroir expression on the finish. The bottle last year was far superior, so I will not score based on this example. Tasted blind at the Southwold annual tasting.

85% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc. Barrel sample. Ripe, jammy fruit with a present but integrated toasty edge. Less expressive than some years (Francois Mitjavile conceded afterwards that it needed racking). Rich and round on the palate but there s freshness as well. Tannins firm on the finish. On another day probably worth a higher score. (JL)
