A blend of 53% Merlot, 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 2% Petit Verdot, the 2023 Cambon La Pelouse is deep garnet-purple in color. It offers up notes of fruitcake, stewed plums, and raspberry preserves, with touches of spice box, wild fungi, and dried herbs. The medium-bodied palate is chewy and a touch thin, with a dried berry-laced finish.

The 2022 Cambon la Pelouse is a blend of 45% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 15% Petit Verdot. Deep garnet-purple in color, it is a little broody and reduced to begin, featuring notes of tar and rubber over a core of stewed plums, sauteed herbs, blackcurrant jelly, and damp soil. The medium-bodied palate is tightly wound with lively black fruits ad a lightly chewy texture, finishing with an herbal lift.

The 2021 Cambon la Pelouse is medium to deep garnet-purple in color. It delivers oaky overtones, leading to hints of redcurrants and raspberry leaves, plus a touch of wet dirt. The light-bodied palate is chewy and oaky, with subtle fruit and a woody finish.

Owned by Treasury Wine Estates since 2019, this is an excellent property, and it is performing strongly in 2020. Ripe tannins, well worked with some lovely liqourice, cherry, black chocolate, tea and damson notes. Good quality, a little tight still, should go for a good 10-15 years but no need to wait too long to begin drinking, bright acidities.
