justerini & brooks tasting note

The Roc de Cambes hails from the clay, limestone soils above the Domaine de Cambes vineyard and always produces a denser more concentrated wine. It often matches its more illustrious partner, Tertre Roteboeuf. This is a really solid effort produced from 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon. Wild and complex aromas of cocoa, balsam and Chambord are followed by a velvety core of sumptuous, plummy fruit. Supple and juicy, framed by sweet, toasty oak notes and dark, liquorice inflected fruits.

critic reviews

92-94/100Lisa Perrotti-Brown,The Wine Independent

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2023 Roc de Cambes bursts with gregarious notes of juicy black cherries and black raspberries followed by hints of violets, tar, and wood smoke with a touch of garrigue. The medium to full-bodied palate is taut, with dense muscular fruit framed by firm grainy tannins and beautiful tension, finishing long and minerally. This is impressive!

The 2023 Roc de Cambes delivers oodles of black cherries and cassis fruit on the nose. It’s very floral and extravagant yet retains delineation and focus. The palate is medium-bodied with licorice-tinged black fruit, hints of Indian spice and marmalade. This is quite a tangy Roc de Cambes with a persistent, figgy finish.
