Domaine de Cambes, Bordeaux, 2025
François Mitjavile’s wines are amongst the most idiosyncratic in Bordeaux. They are a bit divisive, but there are plenty of folks out there who can't get enough of them. The 2025 Domaine de Cambes is rich, ripe and hedonistic. There's ample, sultry fruit, lots of exotic spice and roasted coffee bean notes. The palate is heady and decadent with suggestions of griotte liqueur and liquorice culminating in a slightly dry, oaky finish.
critic reviews
The 2025 Domaine de Cambes has an open-knit, quite Pinot-like bouquet that leans towards red cherry and white-tipped strawberry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied, with a punchy, black and white pepper-infused entry that imparts good vigour. Moderate depth, well balanced, with a vibrant, licorice-tinged finish, this is a fine, flavoursome Côtes de Bordeaux courtesy of the Mitjaviles.
Cocoa bean, ripe fruit, tight tannins, opens up to show firm backbone with eucalyptus notes. 100% new oak.
