Vin Chateau Cambon la Pelouse

Chateau Cambon La Pelouse is one of the oldest producers of wine in the Haut-Medoc region of France, with a history of fine wine that stretches back to the late 17th century. This 35 hectare Bordeaux vineyard has made an impressive contribution to the reputation of the Medoc sub-region, especially in England.

The modern history of the vineyard begins in 1996 when it was purchased by Jean Pierre Marie, who renovated the property and provided it with the best modern equipment. The grapes are still harvested under the “culture raisonnee” method – that is, hand-harvesting, pruning, thinning out of the leaves, green harvesting, and de-stemming to ensure the perfect quality of the fruit. The vines are around 30 years old and planted to a vine density of between 5,000 and 7,000 vines per hectare. The vineyard includes grapes of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot - grown on deep and gravelly soil. It is the combination of the old vines and soil composition which makes wines from the Chateau Cambon La Pelouse such a success – producing an elegant wine with intense colour, a delicate nose, solid tannins, and a ripe length. In June 2003, it was elevated to a Cru Bourgeois Supérieur.
