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.

Blends and tasting notes

66% Cabernet Sauvignon

34% Merlot

Dark garnet. Limpid and brilliant. Before shaking: bouquet of fresh rose, blackberry jelly. After shaking: gunflint, hearth, and still floral.

Lively attack, satiny structure, very pretty grain. Ample, woven volume. Saline touch. Long, very black cherry finish.

Climate

The autumn and winter following the harvest were too rainy and too mild. March was surprisingly warm.

The vines misjudged the weather, believing it to be the return of fine weather. The hard frosts of April bring them back to reality, mowing down their tender, barely-opened leaves. Humid flowering is better for Cabernet Sauvignon than Merlot.

Summer is within the norm. The rains return above the harvest.

We hold firm and pull the grape varieties through to maturity.

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.
