Vinification
The grapes are fully destemmed. Fermentation takes place over 6 days at a constant temperature of 28°C, followed by a three-week maceration. The cap is pumped over and gently mixed daily. After pneumatic pressing, the wine is transferred to oak barrels where malolactic fermentation is initiated. It is then aged in French oak for 14–18 months, 60% of which is new. The wine is clarified with egg whites before bottling.

About Ch. Camensac
Château de Camensac keeps away from the media spotlight but delivers quite remarkable production, like many wine estates in Haut-Médoc. Since 1964 - and the years that followed the Forner family's installation at the Château de Camensac - the property has benefited from a vast renovation plan. "The data of nature, however beneficial they may be, cannot in themselves constitute the guarantee of an exceptional production", we like to say at the Château de Camensac ...
Bought in 2005 by the Merlaut family, Château de Camensac has grown strongly from vintage to vintage and has become a must in the Haut-Médoc appellation.
