Château de Camensac - G.C.C. | Haut-Médoc
Red wine | France, MEDOC-HAUT-MEDOC | 2018
The wine is brilliant and
limpid. The dress is a dark
garnett. The nose is neat.
Before stirring, vibrant notes
of currants and raspberries.
After stirring, come the floral
aromas of fresh roses, and
a fine woody touch very
lighted vanilla-flavoured.
The attack is straightforward.
The mouth shows a very refined
tannin in a supple envelope
that perfects the middle of the
mouth. The fruity and floral
aromas are confirmed.
The harmonious wine at
this stage of evolution is
a promise of delicacy.
The finish is very long and evokes
a sensation of tasty current jelly.

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.
