Chateau de Camensac Description
A long winter, a few cold and frosted days, with plentiful rainfalls in December and January. June is suddenly very warm. The flower evolves nicely. July is heatwave, vine is tested. August gives it some respite. Its rainfalls at the
beginning of the month are particularly timely for veraison. September is beautiful. The harvest begins later. We escape some heavy storms. Merlot comes calmly, ripe and fruity. Temperatures are low and night very cold. Cabernet sauvignon are affected. Rainfalls revive its but warm nights and days worried. The atmosphere is concerned but the result pleasing.
57% Cabernet Sauvignon 43% Merlot
The wine is bright and limpid. The robe is deep garnet and luminous. The nose is neat and straight. Before stirring, cherry and cedar. After stirring, come the black pepper aromas, fresh roses, lightly mineral. The attack is frank and supple. The mouth is immediately aromatic in the gray tobacco register, mineral and wooded touch barely vanilla. The fine tannic frame, satin is the heart of a smooth volume The retro-olfaction is very long, with cherry and mint. Wait for 2020 to savour,potential aging until 2045.
James Suckling: 93 Points
Plenty of spicy and toasty oak on offer here with underlying plum aromas and flavors. A very fresh palate with great depth and detail. Drink or hold.
