Château Chambert is spectacular. The entrance through the grand boxwood drive up to the château is magnificent and shows off the vineyards on the gentle rolling hills stretching as far as you can see over the Causse. The first vineyards can be traced back to the eleventh century. The fortified house dating from the sixteenth and seventeenth century was remodelled in the eighteenth century and has been completely restored since. The 80 hectare estate was bought in 2007 by a young investor by the name of Philippe Lejeune. The master of his wine store, Stéphane Derenoncourt, works the vines with the precision of an English nurse. His expertise, the good sense of the past combined with today’s technology results in great blends and the making of great wines, such as the Chambert 100% Malbec, the Château Chambert (a historic wine) and the range of Chambert gourmands. A specialty, the Rogomme, an oak-aged cooked wine. Les Hauts Coteaux. 46700 FLORESSAS – France. www.chambert.com
