2021 Château Roc de Cambes, Côtes de Bourg

Tasted April 2022. Red cherry and raspberry fruit mix with black plum and cherry with good concentration on the palate. There are more delicate savoury spice, smoke and truffle notes developing. Fresh, crunchy red fruits on the finish with bright acidity and a fine, long finish.

Tasting notes

The 2021 Roc de Cambes is basically identical to the nose I encountered in barrel, and it retains its Burgundy/Pinot allure—fine delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with just a touch of reduction on the entry and tensile tannins, leading to notes of white pepper and clove. This is linear toward the finish, lingering in the mouth, a lovely Côtes de Bourg that should drink well for over a decade.

The 2021 Roc de Cambes exhibits aromas of dark berries, orange zest, espresso roast, smoked meats and licorice, followed by a medium to full-bodied, layered and lively palate that's turned out to be, as I observed from barrel, an especially elegant rendition of this superb clay-limestone terroir in the Côtes de Bourg.
