ParcelWineBuyers from within the EU: VAT payable … Read more CHATEAU CAMBON LA PELOUSE Château Cambon La Pelouse was bought in 1996 by Jean-Pierre Marie, who also acquired Château Trois Moulins, the neighbouring estate. The vineyards are planted with 50 Merlot, 30 Cabernet Sauvignon and 20 Cabernet Franc, and the average age of the vines is 30 years old. The grapes are generally machine-picked and rigorously sorted both before and after destemming to keep yields down to an average of 45 hectolitres per hectare. A pre-fermentation cold soak takes place for about a week. The wine is aged in oak (50 new oak each vintage) for approximately a year.

Château Cambon La Pelouse--Vintage 2000
Haut-Médoc cru bourgeois
Tasting Note: The 2000, which has a slightly more saturated ruby/purple colour than the 2001, is fleshier, with a more substantial mouthfeel. Exhibiting sumptuous fruit, ripe tannin and a seamless texture, this serious Haut-Médoc is equivalent to many classified growths. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 146, April 2003.
