A blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. Deep midnight black core with a dark red black tinged hue. Elevated mulberry and ripe red to black currant aromas prevail over earthy cedar, black olive and spice notes. Medium to full bodied with a generous, open feel to the rich red to black currant and mulberry fruit, traces of liquorice, scorched earth, spicy cedar and black olive elements ensue. Sturdy but well integrated tannins provide good structure. Medium to long, slightly rustic aftertaste.
Cellar 5-6 years.

Other Reviews….
Close to some of the top Margaux vineyards, this estate regularly produces some fine wines. This bottling is beautifully structured, firm with tannins and also generous with black fruits. A high percentage of Merlot gives a particularly ripe and juicy wine that will age over the medium-term. Drink from 2022.

Big black fruits and a ton of ripe tannins make this a dramatic wine that would be hard not to like. The balance is really good and that makes it delicious right now. If it were a bit more complex it would rate even more highly.

Another little gem Cru Bourgeois is the 2015 Château Cambon La Pelouse which comes from close to equal amounts Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, with roughly 4% Petit Verdot. It offers a darker edge in its blackcurrant, underbrush, tobacco and earthy aromatics, is medium-bodied, beautifully concentrated, and has building tannin. It's absolutely worth seeking out and will drink nicely for a decade or more. Drink 2018-2028.
