Vineyards have been growing around the Chateau de Camensac, a magnificent 18th century Chartreuse, for several centuries.
Previously called Château Camensac, this Château is a fifth Grand Cru Classé Pauillac of the prestigious 1855 list.
The vineyard covers 75 hectares of deeply drained gravelly slopes.
Varietals: Cabernet Sauvignon: 60% and Merlot Noir: 40%
All the grapes are harvested by hand and the wine is aged in its entirety for 16 to 20 months in barrels, the proportion of new barrels of which varies between 35 and 80% depending on the vintage.
With its magnificent ruby-red color and crimson highlights, this wine offers a discreet, delicate nose. Bigarreau cherry, blueberry and blackcurrant intermingle with elegance.
After aeration, notes of roasting stand out and add complexity to the bouquet.
On the palate, it's both structured and rounded thanks to chiseled tannins. The balance is well-balanced between greedy fruit and barrel aromas.
The highly aromatic finish remains, however, marked by a slight woodiness encouraging the wine to be kept for a few more years.
