Tucked away in the Côtes de Bourg, this small estate punches well above its weight, producing wines with the depth, texture, and complexity you’d expect from top Right Bank châteaux—just without the big-name price tag.
Mitjavile is something of a cult figure in Bordeaux, known for his meticulous, instinctive approach in both vineyard and cellar. He treats Roc de Cambes with the same care and philosophy as his famed Tertre Roteboeuf in Saint-Émilion: low yields, late harvesting for maximum ripeness, and a gentle, hands-off touch in the winery.
What the critics say:
"The 2020 Roc de Cambes is a potent, reticent wine that is going to need at least a few years to come into its own. Bright red-toned fruit, crushed flowers, blood orange, mint and dried herbs open first. Vibrant acids and open-knit aromatics lend energy as the 2020 gradually unfurls in the glass, with the Cabernet very much driving the flavor profile and overall feel. This exotic beauty is a total stunner. Give it time, though."
"Broad and concentrated, the 2020 Roc de Cambes unwinds in the glass with aromas of cassis, plums, wood smoke, violets and espresso roast. Medium to full-bodied, rich and velvety, with a fleshy core of fruit and powdery structuring tannins, this is the most muscular wine in Mitjaville's cellar."
