Château Cambon La Pelouse, 2018 Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel

2018 was a very good to excellent vintage in Bordeaux and this a rich, robust wine with plenty of dark fruit given extra dimensions by aromas of cedar and tobacco supported by ripe tannins that add length and will help the wine age.

"Richly textured, attractive floral aromatics give a whisp and a curl of roses and smoke out of the glass. Floral perfume through the palate also, but it's the fruits that dominate in the end - blackberry and cassis, with touches of bitter chocolate to finish things off. Polished and enjoyable and speaks to its location close to Margaux. 35% new oak. 3.74pH. Hubert de Boüard (co-owner of Château Angélus) consults."
