Chateau Chambert

"Château de Chambert" is the historic wine of the chateau, a 100% Malbec blend of estate old vines. 

This wine is aged 12 months in 3,000 litres oak casks to achieve a perfect balance of fruit, silky tannins and a delicate spice of french oak. It is a wine that can easily age from 15-20 years depending on the vintage.
