Chateau Cambon La Pelouse 2016

The Appellation d’Origine Controllé Haut Médoc in France’s Bordeaux region is located on the left bank of the Gironde, and is known for its complex and elegant red wines such as this tasty blend of 54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 42% Merlot and 4% Petit Verdot. 2016 was an unusual year in Médoc characterized by an extremely wet winter and a hot, dry summer. In the end, the nail-biting season proved a boon for vineyards such as Cambon La Pelouse’s with its rocky, sandy soil. The 2016 vintage wine is a deeply colored, classic, savory melt-in-your-mouth Bordeaux, and an excellent choice to accompany steak as well as beef or lamb stews and roasts.
