Domaine de Cambes is owned by the Mitjavile family, who also own St-Emilion superstar, Le Tertre-Roteboeuf. Although it is part of Roc de Cambes, it is not considered the estate's second wine and is instead treated as a wine in its own right. Francois Mitjavile puts his exceptional winemaking skills into this Bordeaux AOC, creating a wine of style and substance without his top-end price tags

The grapes are grown on a plot adjacent to the Gironde, on clay soils and a cooler terroir, imparting its silky freshness. Like all of Mitjavile’s ventures, the quantities made are limited but for a taste of truly great wine making it is well worth grabbing a case. This wine is made from a section of the Roc de Cambes vineyard that is only entitled to the straight Bordeaux appellation. A bit further south down the slope, creating a cooler terroir and clayey soil. In the past only 20% new oak was used but Francois Mitjavile now thinks that the quality of the fruit deserves 100% new Radoux blend barrels. 80% Merlot, 20% Cabernets.
