Domaine de Cambis

Domaine de Cambis

With panoramic views of the Rieuberlou river valley, the vineyards of Domaine de Cambis are set in a privileged location in the northern part of the Saint-Chinian appellation within France’s Languedoc region. Nestled into the hillside, the vines are protected from strong northern winds and get maximum sun from the south-facing slopes. Elegant, full of flavor and well-structured, the wines of Domaine de Cambis reflect the area’s unique microclimate and characteristic Ordovician era schist soils. Taking the lead from his parents, Martin Perolari brings a fresh perspective, crafting classically made wines that feel vibrant and modern.
