{"product_id":"haut-medoc-cambon-la-pelouse-1981","title":"Haut Médoc Cru Bourgeois Château Cambon la Pelouse 1981","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is a 1981 red wine from Château Cambon la Pelouse, classified as a Cru Bourgeois within the Haut-Médoc appellation. Haut-Médoc forms the southern and most prestigious part of the Médoc peninsula on Bordeaux's Left Bank, an area where Cabernet Sauvignon traditionally dominates the gravelly soils. The Bordeaux region itself, situated by the Atlantic coast, has been exporting wine since the Middle Ages and remains globally renowned, with its historic 1855 classification still ranking the leading estates. The 1981 vintage in this area is described as delicate and mature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChâteau Cambon la Pelouse is located in the commune of Macau, geographically wedged between two of Médoc's classified estates, Cantemerle and Giscours. Situated right on the border of the Margaux appellation, the estate's 65 hectares share terroir characteristics with some of the area's most prestigious châteaux, despite falling just outside the Margaux boundary itself. At the time of this 1981 vintage, the wine was produced by Indivision Carrère Fils, Frères, Gendre, Fermière, and was bottled directly at the château.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe estate has undergone significant developments in recent decades. Following a period of quality enhancement initiated when the Marie family purchased the property in 1996, Château Cambon la Pelouse was recognized as a Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel in the 2020 classification, the highest rank within the Cru Bourgeois system. In September 2019, the château changed ownership to the Australian company Treasury Wine Estates, known for brands like Penfolds and Beringer, making it their first and only Bordeaux property.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Château Cambon la Pelouse","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57745035329862,"sku":null,"price":105.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3478\/1950\/files\/generated-1839_66b2c387-eaeb-492b-a4f5-ea631b063dac.jpg?v=1793353887","url":"https:\/\/bottleswithhistory.com\/products\/haut-medoc-cambon-la-pelouse-1981","provider":"Bottles With History","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
