Château de Camensac Haut-Médoc Grand Cru Classé AOC

Located in the heart of the Haut-Médoc appellation, on the edge of the Saint-Julien appellation, the Château de Camensac covers 75 hectares. Purchased in 2005 by the Merlaut family, he benefits from the experience and know-how of the Château Chasse Spleen team, it regains its glory of 1855, when it was ranked 5th Grand Cru in the Bordeaux classification and its wines renew with the traditional quality of the castle.

Great care is taken in a constant search for excellence and the best expression of the Terroir. Ever more rigorous plot selection and vinification adapted to the grapes result in a fresh, seductive wine, in the same style as the label: elegant, modern, refined and with a touch of originality that breaks with the traditional image of Bordeaux’s Grands Vins.

This 2018, Camensac is once again marking its progress towards a delicate and increasingly assertive signature.

APPEARANCE
The dress is dark garnet, bright and limpid.

NOSE
The nose is neat, with vibrant notes of currants and raspberries, followed by floral aromas of fresh roses, and a fine woody touch, very lighted vanilla-flavoured.

PALATE
The mouth shows a very refined tannin in a supple envelope that perfects the middle of the mouth. The fruity and floral aromas are confirmed. The finish is long and evokes a sensation of tasty current jelly.

Ageing in French oak barrels for 14 to 18 months (60% new barrels).

PAIRING
Château de Camensac goes particularly well with an Entrecote Bordelaise, roast duck or rack of lamb, and warm dark chocolate lava cake.
