57% Cabernet Sauvignon
43% Merlot
TASTING NOTES:
The wine is bright and clear with a dark colour.
There are recurrent aromas of black pepper and rose. The structure is fine with plenty of substance on the mid-palate. This is a balanced, powerful wine. The finish is very long, recalling the red fruit of the initial nose with well-integrated oak.

BRAND NAME: Château Carmensac
Château de Camensac is located on the perimeter of the Médoc’s great growths, bordering on the Saint-Julien appellation. The 75-hectare vineyard consists of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot vines on slopes with deep gravel soil over a mix of clay and hardpan. It is a very old estate that was cited on Belleyme’s famous 18th century map. Camensac means “on the water’s way”. The Merlaut family acquired Camensac in time for the 2005 vintage. Céline Villars and Jean Merlaut are now in charge of the estate.
