Located in the Côtes de Bourg, not far from Saint-Émilion, the first Roc de Cambes vintage was in 1998 some ten years after Francois Mitjavile—who also owns the very highly regarded, small production Le Tertre-Roteboeuf in Saint-Émilion—purchased the 12ha vineyard planted on limestone and clay. With a similar terroir to Tertre-Roteboeuf and vines that average 50 years of age, the vineyard is planted to 75% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc producing an exotic and hedonistic wine that can be enjoyed in its youth but that will also cellar well for at least 10-15 years.
