2018 Château Cambon la Pelouse 2018 1500ml

6 x 1500ml
They've achieved a measured extraction here without holding back on the cassis and blackberry fruits. I tasted this several times and it consistently impressed. A reliable name, and one to look out for in 2018. Harvested 19 September to 10 October, yielding 45hl/ha. 35% new oak. 3.74pH. Hubert de Bouard consults. Read more

Richly textured, attractive floral aromatics give a whisp and a curl of roses and smoke out of the glass. Floral perfume through the palate also, but it's the fruits that dominate in the end - blackberry and cassis, with touches of bitter chocolate to finish things off. Polished and enjoyable, and speaks to its location close to Margaux. A yield of 45hl/ha. 35% new oak. 3.74pH. Hubert de Boüard consults.
