Description

The robe is garnet and bright. The nose is neat and straight. Before stirring, candied citrus notes, fine wooded touch and vanilla. After stirring, come the red fruit aromas, gunflint and spice as pepper. The attack is right. Nice balance. The half body has a beautiful silky and tight grain in an ample and supple volume. The finish is very long with lots of cherry. Château de Camensac is located on the perimeter of the Medoc's great growths, bordering on the Saint-Julien appellation.It is a very old estate that was cited on Belleyme's falous 18th century map. Camensac means on the water's way, and comes from the words camens, which means path or way and ac, which means water in local dialect. In the 17th century, monks dug ditches along the bottom of the gravelly rises. These contributed to the quality of the terroir by draining off excess rainwater. The Merlaut family acquired Camensac in time for the 2005 vintage. Céline Villars and Jean Merlaut are now in charge of the estate
