Domaine de Cambes

Domaine de Cambes is the lesser-known jewel of Bordeaux’s Right Bank, crafted by the legendary winemaker François Mitjavile, also behind Château Tertre Roteboeuf. Situated just outside the Saint-Émilion appellation on the slopes overlooking the Dordogne River, Domaine de Cambes benefits from the same meticulous care and philosophy that have made Mitjavile’s wines world-renowned.

The vineyard’s limestone and clay soils combined with François’ unique approach — late harvesting for full ripeness, gentle extractions, and long oak ageing — create wines of remarkable depth, velvety texture, and aromatic complexity. The blend is typically dominated by Merlot, complemented by Cabernet Franc, delivering a style that is both powerful and refined.

Often described as a “baby Tertre Roteboeuf”, Domaine de Cambes offers a glimpse into Mitjavile’s singular vision at a more accessible price point, making it a favourite among sommeliers and collectors worldwide.
