Roc de Cambes° 2021

The 2021 Roc De Cambes also does incredibly well in the vintage. Ripe framboise, toasted spice, creamy vanilla, and floral notes all emerge from the glass, and it's medium-bodied, with a round, supple, elegant mouthfeel, silky tannins, and a great finish. It's a classic 2021 in its lively, mid-weight, yet charming, supple style and is perfect for drinking over the coming decade or so.

The 2021 Roc de Cambes is basically identical to the nose I encountered in barrel, and it retains its Burgundy/Pinot allure—fine delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with just a touch of reduction on the entry and tensile tannins, leading to notes of white pepper and clove. This is linear toward the finish, lingering in the mouth, a lovely Côtes de Bourg that should drink well for over a decade. drink 2026-2037

The 2021 Roc de Cambes exhibits aromas of dark berries, orange zest, espresso roast, smoked meats and licorice, followed by a medium to full-bodied, layered and lively palate that's turned out to be, as I observed from barrel, an especially elegant rendition of this superb clay-limestone terroir in the Côtes de Bourg.
