Characteristics and tasting tips for Château Cambon la Pelouse 2023

Tasting

Complex and beautifully structured, this vintage exudes delicious woody and fruity aromas.

A rich and indulgent Haut-Médoc wine

The estate

Located in the AOC Haut-Médoc, the Château Cambon la Pelouse is one of the serious references of its appellation. The estate ranks as an Exceptional Cru Bourgeois following the new classification established, the mention being applicable from the 2018 vintage until the 2022 vintage. Château Cambon La Pelouse is now owned by Treasury Wines Estates, a globally renowned group with extensive experience in Australian, New Zealand, American and Italian vineyards.

The vineyard

A reference among the Haut-Médoc wines, Château Cambon La Pelouse is remarkably located on the edge of the Margaux appellation. Spread over an area of 65 hectares, the vines are planted on large, lean and sandy gravel soils dating from the Quaternary. The particularity of these soils gives the vineyard an excellent drainage capacity while promoting the maturity of the grapes thanks to the heat stored during the day by the gravels. 2021 marks the beginning of the organic farming certification process for the vineyard.

The vintage

A warm and humid spring leads to high mildew pressure controlled by the rigour and know-how of the teams. The summer is relatively cool before a scorching end of August and a September whose warm and sunny conditions ensure an ideal concentration of the berries while preserving a beautiful freshness.

Vinification and ageing

The ageing of 12 months is carried out in French oak barrels (of which 50% are new barrels, 25% of one wine and 25% of two wines).

Blend

Merlot (53%)
Cabernet Sauvignon (45%)
Petit Verdot (2%).
