Roc de Cambes Côtes de Bourg 2016
Vintage Character
Roc de Cambes Côtes de Bourg 2016 captures a Bordeaux vintage whose late-season balance was especially important. Rain at the beginning of September eased the effects of a dry summer, and a bright Indian summer then allowed ripening to continue under favourable conditions. The combination helped unite mature fruit and tannins with freshness. At Roc de Cambes, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon produced a richly textured wine, but the vintage's energy remains evident beneath that weight. Its substantial body is balanced by lively acidity, giving the fruit a sense of movement rather than a static, heavy impression.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
Cassis, cherry and mulberry aromas carry nuances of dark chocolate, spice and cigar wrapper. The palate is full and muscular, yet the tannins have a powdery, finely textured feel. Juicy acidity keeps the dark fruit in focus, while the finish brings a savoury echo to the wine's richness. Braised beef, roast lamb, or a mushroom pithivier would be fitting partners. Their depth of flavour and substantial texture can meet the wine's concentration, while a restrained use of sweet sauces will leave its freshness and savoury notes room to emerge.
Winery Background
François Mitjavile acquired Roc de Cambes in 1988, extending his work beyond Saint-Émilion to the hills of Côtes de Bourg. The vineyard's sloping position near the Gironde provides a moderated setting, and its south-facing parcels benefit from good ventilation. The 2016 wine was matured in new oak, contributing to its layered, substantial style. Rather than relying on classification for its identity, Roc de Cambes is defined by this combination of place and producer: ripe fruit, ambitious cellar work and a structure capable of carrying the wine's considerable depth.
