Tasting notes
Aroma
A decadent, explosive nose of roasted coffee, black truffle, and dark chocolate. It shows the seamless integration of high-quality toasted oak and ripe black cherry fruit that defines the Mitjavile style.
Palate
Full-bodied and velvety. The texture is the star here. It is incredibly plush and creamy, coating the palate with flavors of blackberry jam, mocha, and spice box. Despite the richness, the limestone soils provide a fresh lift on the finish that keeps it from being heavy.

Product Description
The exact same winemaking as Tertre Roteboeuf for a fraction of the price
This is the smartest buy in all of Bordeaux.
François Mitjavile is the genius behind Tertre Roteboeuf, the legendary Saint-Émilion that sells for over $300 a bottle and consistently outscores the First Growths. But his passion project is Roc de Cambes.
Mitjavile applies the exact same expensive, labor-intensive methods here that he uses for his $300 flagship. He harvests the fruit incredibly late to get massive ripeness and ages the wine in 100% new French oak barrels from the most exclusive cooperage in France. The result is a wine that tastes almost identical to its famous big brother. It is lush, exotic, and creamy—a style that feels like a top-tier Pomerol. This is your chance to drink a wine made by a living legend without paying the collector's premium.
