Domaine de Cambes Cotes de Bourg Rouge 2022, Bordeaux
Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.
Strong nose and medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with nice complexity.
Showing black fruits with cedar, chocolates, tobacco, herbs, spices, earth and peppercorn.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.
This is a delicious Merlot from Côtes de Bourg in the Right Bank of Bordeaux. Still very young, and needs 7 years in the bottle to mature properly, but already enjoyable even by itself.
This 2022 was a great vintage, and is already very approachable at its youth. Will continue to age nicely in the next 20 years.
Nicely balanced and rich. Fruit forward and elegant. Good by itself as a sipping wine or with food.
A blend of mostly Merlot with Cabernet Franc. Aged in French oak barrels.
