Domaine de Cambes 2020

Wineadvocate

Expressive aromas of blackberries, violets and sweet spices preface the 2020 Domaine de Cambes, a medium to full-bodied, velvety and layered wine that's rich and demonstrative, its generous core of fruit framed by fine, chalky tannins. - WK 04/2023

Vinous

The 2020 Domaine de Cambes is a gorgeous, luxuriously deep wine done in Francois Mitjavile's gently oxidative, concentrated style. Sumptuous black cherry, plum, chocolate, espresso and licorice all meld together. Pliant and supple, with generous fruit, Domaine de Cambes is so expressive today. Like many 2020s, it is a bit tight, but that should not be an issue in another few years' time. The purity of the flavors is compelling. (Drink between 2028-2040) - AG 02/2023

Que d’intensité et de subtilité dans ce bouquet qui marie parfaitement l’élevage et les notes fruitées. Attaque friande et rafraîchissante. Le fruit prend parfaitement position en bouche et marque l’ensemble du palais, en étant idéalement secondé par la structure acide. Finale intense et persistante. Les tannins sont serrés et juteux. Ils gagneront en rondeur durant l’élevage mais ils assurent surtout très bien les arrières et offrent une très belle fondation ! 2024-2045 - YB 05/2021

Dunnuck

Coming from the Côtes-de-Bourg appellation on the Right Bank and an estate owned the Mitjavile family of Le Tertre-Rôteboeuf , the 2020 Domaine De Cambes is another beautiful wine from this team that has a singular style. Redcurrants, plums, mulled cherries, spicy oak, cigar, and chocolate notes define the bouquet, and it's medium to full-bodied, with supple, soft tannins and a great finish. It's a softer, more approachable wine compared to the more structured Roc de Cambes, although both are brilliant wines. - 03/2023
