Chateau Cambon La Pelouse 2000
Introduction
This red wine originates from France, specifically the Bordeaux region and the Haut-Médoc appellation on the Left Bank. Chateau Cambon La Pelouse is one of the oldest estates in the area, with a history dating back to the 17th century, though it experienced a renaissance after being purchased by Jean-Pierre Marie in 1996. The winery focuses on modernizing production while respecting the terroir, utilizing sustainable farming practices to produce approachable and consistent wines.
Wine Description
The Chateau Cambon La Pelouse 2000 displays a deep ruby colour that has likely evolved into garnet with age. The nose offers a classic, developed bouquet of blackcurrant, plum, and wild berries, intermingled with secondary notes of tobacco, cedar, leather, and damp earth. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and harmonious, featuring fully resolved, silky tannins and a smooth finish that highlights its maturity. The blend consists of 52% Merlot, 44% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 4% Petit Verdot. This wine is fully mature and is best enjoyed now. It is not organic and has an alcohol by volume (ABV) of 13%.
Food Pairing
This wine's developed savoury character and smooth structure make it an excellent partner for roasted red meats, such as a traditional roast beef or a ribeye steak with mushrooms. It also pairs well with roast lamb, game dishes like venison stew, or a platter of aged hard cheeses like Comté.
Vintage Quality
The 2000 vintage in Bordeaux is widely regarded as legendary, producing wines of spectacular quality and longevity. A warm, dry summer and perfect harvest conditions allowed for optimal ripening, resulting in wines with great concentration, structure, and balance.
