Château Cambon La Pelouse

Romazini: 3/5 Stars

The Winespectator: 86/100 Points

Berry and milk chocolate aromas follow through to a medium body, with silky tannins and a fruity finish. Best from 2010 through 2012. 20,000 cases made.

Robert Parker: 87/100 Points

This large vineyard in Macau (near Cantemerle and Giscours, not Hong Kong) produces a blend of 50% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Petit Verdot. It is a consistent choice among shrewd wine consumers looking for good value from Bordeaux. The deep ruby-colored 2006 exhibits sweet red and black currant aromas intermixed with notions of toasty oak, damp earth, and spice. Richly fruity, soft, and round, it is best drunk over the next 3-4 years.

Stephen Tanzer: 89/100 Points

Medium ruby. Precise aromas of blackberry, black cherry, minerals, spices and licorice. Juicy, suave and lively, with aromatic flavors of black fruits and bitter chocolate. Nicely ripe but classically dry. Fine-grained, broad and long, leaving behind a flavor of crushed blackberry.
