Roc de Cambes Côtes de Bourg 1998

Roc de Cambes 1998 is a deeply expressive Côtes de Bourg from François Mitjaville, offering a remarkable level of depth and character for the appellation. Made from Cabernet Franc in a Bordeaux blend style, it combines elegance, structure, and a distinctly mineral edge, reflecting both the quality of the vineyard and the producer’s uncompromising approach. Since Mitjaville acquired the estate in 1988, Roc de Cambes has quickly earned a reputation as one of the standout wines of the right bank, delivering serious performance often associated with far more expensive bottles.

Makuprofiili
The wine shows a dark red color and opens with a refined, elegant bouquet of ripe black cherries, crème de cassis, and violets. Oak is beautifully integrated, adding subtle nuance rather than dominating the fruit. On the palate, it is full and generous without feeling heavy, with chalky tannins and a mineral-laced core of dark berries that carry through to a long, spicy finish. The 1998 vintage is drinking beautifully now, but its structure and balance suggest there is still room for further aging.

Viininvalmistus
Roc de Cambes comes from 10 hectares of south-facing slopes near the Gironde, where old vines averaging 40 to 50 years of age benefit from excellent exposure and ripening conditions. The grapes are harvested as late as possible to achieve full maturity, concentration, and richness of fruit. Vinification takes place in cement tanks, followed by aging for 18 to 24 months in oak barrels, around 50% of which are new.

Ruoka & tarjoilu
This wine pairs beautifully with roasted lamb, beef tenderloin, duck breast, game birds, and earthy dishes such as mushroom risotto or truffle-scented sauces. Serve at 16–18°C and consider decanting for 1–2 hours if opening now, especially to let the aromatics and complex texture fully unfold.

Tuottaja
Founded by François Mitjaville, Roc de Cambes has become one of the reference estates in Côtes de Bourg since he purchased it in 1988. Drawing on the same thoughtful, quality-driven philosophy that made his name in Bordeaux, Mitjaville helped elevate the estate to a level of recognition rarely seen in the region. The wines have earned strong critical acclaim, including a 91-point rating from Robert Parker for the 1998 vintage, and are known for their concentration, personality, and impressive aging potential.
