Tucked away in the Côtes de Bourg, this small estate punches well above its weight, producing wines with the depth, texture, and complexity you’d expect from top Right Bank châteaux—just without the big-name price tag. Mitjavile is something of a cult figure in Bordeaux, known for his meticulous, instinctive approach in both vineyard and cellar. He treats Roc de Cambes with the same care and philosophy as his famed Tertre Roteboeuf in Saint-Émilion: low yields, late harvesting for maximum ripeness, and a gentle, hands-off touch in the winery.
