80% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc | 100% new oak | 13.7% alc. The ‘magical green dune’ note is present in this wine, and I love it when the fruit notes are spiked with this refreshing detail in this vintage. This is a silky, medium-weight wine with beautiful control, and it is in a state of relaxation, such is the restraint and composure found from the nose to the finish. Cool, long and savoury, this is a contemplative wine and one that demands patience. You must be in the same mood as this wine when you pull the cork to get the most from the glass. While I sit on a step in Tertre Roteboeuf, writing this note and knowing I have a packed itinerary ahead of me, it isn’t easy to entirely compose myself. But this wine goes a long way to helping!

From vines growing on deep, cool clays on the foggy bank of the Gironde, where tannins degrade without any loss of freshness, the 2021 Domaine de Cambes unfurls in the glass with aromas of sweet cherries, mulberries, cocoa nib, tobacco and loamy soil. Medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, it's lively and succulent, concluding with a long, saline finish. Despite its evident quality, it's entitled to no more than the simple Bordeaux appellation.
