Roc de Cambes: The Elegance of a Fine Right Bank Bordeaux
A privileged terroir, a wine of character
Roc de Cambes stands out as one of the most refined and character-driven wines of Bordeaux’s Right Bank. Located in the Côtes de Bourg appellation, the estate benefits from exceptional clay-limestone soils and the temperate influence of the nearby Gironde estuary. This unique environment encourages slow grape ripening, resulting in wines of great depth, balance, and aromatic complexity. The vineyard's exposure and microclimate create optimal conditions year after year, even in more challenging vintages.
The vineyard is dominated by Merlot, which brings rich fruit and velvety texture, while Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc add backbone and freshness. Low yields, old vines, and sustainable farming practices ensure the production of grapes with high concentration and finesse. Hand harvesting, strict grape selection, and separate vinifications for each parcel help preserve the full potential of every grape variety. The wines are aged in French oak barrels for 18 to 24 months, developing a layered profile of fruit, spice, and wood integration.
The result is a wine with a striking personality: expressive, structured, yet elegant. Roc de Cambes delivers a rare harmony that elevates it among the top wines of the Right Bank. Whether cellared or enjoyed young with a proper decant, each vintage offers a unique interpretation of the vineyard's identity.
A must-have wine, available at 12bouteilles
On the nose, Roc de Cambes reveals aromas of ripe black fruits such as blackberry, black cherry, and cassis, enhanced by layers of tobacco, cedar, sweet spices, and hints of cocoa. On the palate, it is full-bodied yet precise, supported by fine tannins and a long, persistent finish. The wine’s freshness and complexity make it a versatile companion to fine cuisine, including roasted lamb, aged beef, game dishes, or mature cheeses.
Collectors appreciate Roc de Cambes for its aging potential. Exceptional vintages such as 2005, 2009, 2015, and 2018 are especially prized for their depth and longevity. Over time, the wine gains tertiary aromas and greater subtlety, offering a different experience with each bottle. Its consistency across vintages and expressive style make it a standout for both enthusiasts and seasoned wine lovers.
Exclusively available at 12bouteilles, Roc de Cambes is a benchmark for those seeking authenticity and depth in Bordeaux. Whether you're building a cellar or sharing a fine bottle at the table, this wine promises a memorable tasting experience that reflects the artistry of one of the Right Bank’s hidden gems.
