Château de Camensac

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.

Description Château de Camensac 2019.

Blends and tasting notes

55% Cabernet Sauvignon

45% Merlot

Deep garnet. Nose: cherry, very floral: fresh rose. Slight hint of toast. Palate: a certain velvety thickness produced by a lovely volume of very fine tannins.

Cherry bursts on the palate. Discreet woodiness at this stage. Nice, long finish with a touch of liquorice and freshness.

Climate

Winter 2018 was classic and therefore perfect, quite cold and not too wet. February and March were very Secs, followed by a month of very heavy rain in April. A few nights of frost in May damaged a few buds. A steady downpour in June almost prevented the flower from blooming.

July brought record-breaking heat. August and early September were more normal. Unfortunately, it was under threatening skies that the harvest took place. But once again, experience and cool-headedness produced a very good, if not exceptional, wine.

The care we take when receiving wines in our cellars enables us to detect bottles with imperfections (dirty or faded labels, damaged capsules, etc.). In such cases, they are systematically set aside and never put online! Our preparation team selects only bottles with perfect presentation for your orders!

It is these bottles with slight external defects that we present to you in the "Existe en imparfaite" selection. These bottles are, of course, of "irreproachable" gustatory quality, but suffer from slight defects on the label or cap. We therefore offer them at a preferential price, making the pleasure of tasting them even more affordable.
