Château Cambon La Pelouse 2015 is an excellent Cru Bourgeois from a great vintage. Cabernet-dominant, this has blackberry, fresh coffee and plum, well-integrated oak and ripe tannins. Great over the next 5 years. Plenty of bright and pretty blackberry and blueberry fruit. Medium to full body, fine tannins. Medium finish. The dominant features of the 2015 vintage are: aromatic richness and quality of tannins. This vintage is a beautiful gift.

Critical Acclaim

92 Wine Enthusiast: Close to some of the top Margaux vineyards, this estate regularly produces some fine wines. This bottling is beautifully structured, firm with tannins and also generous with black fruits. A high percentage of Merlot gives a particularly ripe and juicy wine that will age over the medium-term. Drink from 2022.

91 James Suckling: Big black fruits and a ton of ripe tannins make this a dramatic wine that would be hard not to like. The balance is really good and that makes it delicious right now. If it were a bit more complex it would rate even more highly.

90Jeb Dunnuck: Another little gem Cru Bourgeois is the 2015 Château Cambon La Pelouse which comes from close to equal amounts Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, with roughly 4% Petit Verdot. It offers a darker edge in its blackcurrant, underbrush, tobacco and earthy aromatics, is medium-bodied, beautifully concentrated, and has building tannin. It's absolutely worth seeking out and will drink nicely for a decade or more.
