On August 21st, 2008 the prestigious Bettane & Desseauve French wine guide was out for sale. These two wine experts are very famous in France and Europe and are well known for their sharp expertise and integrity. Chambert just entered their guide this year, this is a significant milestone. From the guide, they present Chambert as "one of the top winery in the 80s that sunk into the routine but its recent resumption with the help of Stéphane Derenoncourt is about to make it a leader again !"

This description summarizes very well all the great potential at Chambert and the capacity to become a significant Cahors Malbec actor on the international scene. To reach this position, an ambitious quality-plan was started back in June 2007, first rewards will come when the 2007 vintage is introduced...in 2009.

The other great news is the Chambert 2006 that scored 15.5/20 (for apx. 10€). Since 2004 and 2005 vintages are as good, this leaves Chambert's wine lover a great panel of excellent wines.

Last but not least: the guide's tasting notes manage -in just few words- to spot the essence of Chambert's style: "...not the darkest wine of the appellation but its aromas of spices and violet are amongst the finest one, a pretty wine of a rare elegance". For more details about Chambert and all great French wines, do not hesitate to buy this great guide..
