Chateau Camensac 2020

Saint-Julien

Château Camensac 2020, from the Haut-Médoc region just bordering Saint-Julien, is a classic Bordeaux blend composed of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot. This vintage reveals a vibrant bouquet of blackcurrant, plum, and hints of cedar and tobacco. On the palate, it delivers a harmonious balance of ripe dark fruits and well-integrated oak, supported by fine-grained tannins and a touch of minerality from its gravelly and chalky clay soils. The wine's aging process of 17 to 20 months in French oak, with 40% new barrels, imparts a subtle complexity and elegance, leading to a long, smooth finish. This grand vin showcases the meticulous craftsmanship and rich heritage of Château Camensac, under the stewardship of the Merlaut family.
