Closerie de Camensac 2019 is the second wine from Château de Camensac, an esteemed estate located in the Haut-Médoc region of Bordeaux. This vintage reflects the exceptional qualities of the 2019 growing season, which was characterized by a hot, dry summer that led to optimal ripening conditions for the grapes. The blend is primarily composed of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, showcasing the classic Médoc style.
In the glass, Closerie de Camensac 2019 displays a deep garnet colour with vibrant highlights. The nose is inviting, with aromas of blackcurrant, plum, and cherry, complemented by subtle notes of tobacco, cedar, and a touch of vanilla from the oak ageing process. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, offering a harmonious balance between ripe fruit flavours and well-integrated tannins. The mouthfeel is smooth and elegant, leading to a long, satisfying finish with lingering hints of dark fruit and spice.
This wine is a fine example of the quality and craftsmanship associated with Château de Camensac, providing excellent value and a taste of the Haut-Médoc's terroir. It is approachable in its youth but also has the structure to develop further complexity with a few years of ageing.
