Tasting Notes

The 2011 has a wonderful, pastille-like bouquet with unerring intensity, with a Burgundy, Vosne-Romanée-type mineralité. The palate is very pure with filigree tannins, a crystalline composition with wonderful balanced and precision on the finish. This is a stunning Roc de Cambes that makes you wonder why they bothered back in 1855. Tasted March 2012.

Neal Martin, RobertParker.com, April 2012

This top Côtes de Bourg property has come up trumps in 2011, making a wine with profound colour, very ripe, Christmas cake and blackcurrant pastille fruit, toasty oak and sweet, concentrated tannins. Rich and plush, with fine tannins, this is a testament to terroir as well as to the skills of François Mitjavile. 8+ years.
