Chateau Roc de Cambes

Roc de Cambes is located in the Cotes de Bourg appellation, across the water from the more prestigious First Growth châteaux. François Mitjavile of the famed, Tertre Roteboeuf in St.Emilion, purchased the vineyard in late 1987, at this point he renamed the new winery; Château Roc de Cambes. François' philosophy involves an instinct and understanding of the rhythms of the vineyard. Roc de Cambes produces rich, stylish, full-bodied wines that considering their size are remarkably balanced and well composed.

Bordeaux

Bordeaux, one of the most prestigious wine regions in the world, is located in southwestern France and is celebrated for its exceptional wines. It benefits from a temperate maritime climate, influenced by the nearby Atlantic Ocean, providing ideal conditions for viticulture. It is particularly renowned for its red wines, primarily blends of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc, offering rich, complex flavours and excellent ageing potential. Notable sub-regions include Médoc, Saint-Émilion, and Pomerol. Bordeaux also produces exquisite white wines, both dry, from Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, and sweet, from the Sauternes and Barsac areas. The region's unique terroir, combined with centuries-old winemaking traditions, results in wines of unparalleled quality and distinction. Bordeaux remains a must-visit destination for wine enthusiasts seeking world-class wines and a rich viticultural heritage.
