Roc de Cambes 

Francois Mitjavile of the famed, Tertre Roteboeuf in St.Emilion, purchased the vineyard in late 1987, at this point he renamed the new winery; Chateau Rod de Cambes.

He then went on to purchase the entire 14-hectare estate one year later. The estate required extensive replanting and, Domaine renovation and cellar modernisation. 

1998 was the debut vintage for Domaine Roc de Cambes.  That name was shortened to Roc de Cambes in 1994.

The vineyard is situated not far from the Bordeaux city centre and it is also less than 30 KM due south of St. Emilion.

They also produce Domaine de Cambes, which is not considered a second wine, as it comes from a different terroir and grape source.

Domaine de Cambes is not in the boundaries of the Cotes de Bourg appellation.

The vines are much further down the slopes and they are closer to the Gironde, creating a cooler terroir with more clay in the soils as well. 

The resulting wines showcase the finesse the estate is known for yet provide more immediate drinking pleasure.

The Côtes de Bourg appellation has enormous potential, but it is frequently underutilised and represented.

Thanks to François's highly unique working style, his wines easily rank among Bordeaux's best wines that offer an unparalleled price vs. quality ratio. 

For this reason they have quickly risen to become one of Bordeaux’s hidden gems, a true insiders tip!
