Chateau Camensac
Cinquièmes Crus
After several decades of relatively mediocre performance, Chateau Camensac has clearly revived the tradition of quality that earned the château a place in the prestigious 1855 classification. This achievement is undoubtedly due to the huge effort made by the Forner family since 1964. The Forner family launched a major renovation programme soon after acquiring Camensac.
The château (a simple, but beautiful, 18th century manor house) is flanked either side by cellars and outbuildings. "Nature alone, however advantageous, cannot guarantee the production of outstanding wine" is the prevailing attitude at Château Camensac... Despite this modesty, it is obvious that the estate has outstanding natural assets: excellent soil and a dimension that makes it possible to make extremely refined selections. A dynamic, quality-oriented policy makes the most of these assets, giving Camensac balance and distinction increasingly recognised by the wine market.

La Closerie de Camensac 2007
This is the “second wine” of Chateau Camensac. The wines of Camensac are typically Cabernet Sauvignon dominant. The wine shows good concentration with straightforward red berry and floral character on a medium-bodied frame. Pairs well with a wide range of red meats and hard cheese. |
