Description
Characteristics and tasting tips of Château de Camensac 2023
Tasting
Colour
Bright, the colour reveals a beautiful garnet hue with violet reflections.
Nose
Opening on fruity fragrances (red fruits, strawberry, cherry), the nose exhales on aeration delicious floral notes but also pink berries and black cherry.
Palate
A lively and frank attack precedes a palate with delicate tannins, enveloping and even chalky. Persistent, the finish is supported by subtle notes of red berries.
A fresh and very delicate Haut-Médoc red wine
The estate
Owned since 2005 by the Merlaut family, managed by Céline Villars Foubet and her husband Jean-Pierre Foubet, the Château de Camensac has been at the heart of Haut-Médoc since the 18th century. This 5th Grand Cru Classé in 1855 has undergone significant investments, both in the vineyard and in the winery, which have enabled the estate to be equipped with tools to match its stature. Château de Camensac is now a reference in the Bordeaux market with a very interesting quality-price ratio.
The vineyard
An essential reference among the wines of Haut-Médoc, Château de Camensac extends its vineyard over 86 hectares planted on two different types of soil: the Günzian gravels found in Saint-Julien and the Villefranchian gravels found in Pessac-Léognan. It is from these two types of soil that the uniqueness of the estate's wines is born.
The vintage
The rather dry and particularly mild winter raises fears of too early bud burst. Spring frosts have little impact on the vineyard thanks in particular to late pruning. From May to June, alternating rainy and warm conditions develop significant mildew pressure. The summer is mild until the harvest, allowing the collection of high-quality grapes with intense fruity expression.
Blend
Cabernet Sauvignon (60%)
Merlot (40%).
