L’Aura de Cambon was created in 2006, when the owner, Jean-Pierre Marie, who also owns Chateau Cambon La Pelouse in the Haut Medoc appellation purchased slightly more than one acre of vines in Margaux. The vineyard is located in the middle, between Chateaeu Margaux and Chateau Brane Cantenac and not from Chateau Cantenac Brown.
The Left Bank vineyard of L’Aura de Cambon is planted to an even split of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon and 50% Merlot on a terrior that is mostly gravel, with clay. The vines are at a density of 8,000 vines per hectare. The production of L’Aura de Cambon requires a lot of effort. For fermentation, they use two temperature-controlled 32 hectoliter vats, after a Pre-fermentary maceration and mandatory cold soak, of 3 to 4 weeks the wine goes through malolactic fermentation in 100% new French oak barrels. All work in the cellar for L’Aura de Cambon takes place by gravity. The wine is aged for 12 to 15 months in 100% new oak. Ageing is on the lees. Production is small. Less than 500 cases are produced per year.
L’Aura de Cambon is a round, opulent, ripe, modern style of wine from the Medoc that can age, but also drinks well young.

2008 Château L'Aura de Cambon
-
Château L’Aura is a tiny Margaux property located in the Cantenac sector of Margaux. The château produced a whopping 200 cases in 2008! The blend from equal parts of cabernet sauvignon and merlot offers a powerful perfume of jammy black fruit, oak, violets, and candied fruit. Rich, concentrated, and full bodied, this ripe youngster fills your mouth with exotic boysenberry, blue fruit, and black berry flavors with a touch of oak. L’Aura, which began producing wine in 2006 is a property to watch for. 90-93 Pts
