La Closerie de Camensac Haut-Médoc 2019 - Second vin

Bettane & Desseauve

About the domain :

The Merlaut family strives to improve the wines from this vast vineyard, which borders on the Saint-Julien crus. Here, the emphasis is not on stunning samples, but on consistency and homogeneity in the quality of the wine delivered. The arrival of a new, talented director has brought greater rigor and precision to the elaboration of a wine that is truly Médoc in character, a little austere and reserved in the primeurs, but gradually letting the cedar and spices speak for themselves. So go for the latest vintages.

Decanter

About the wine:

Fruity nose (blackberry). Light and juicy, perhaps a little bitter on the fruit, but nice strawberries and raspberries. The acidity gives life and fullness, and there's a pleasant note of mint that refreshes the finish. A lighter style.

About the domain :

Camensac, bought by the Merlaut family in 2005, is now managed by the Chasse-Spleen team, led by Céline Villars-Foubet and Jean-Pierre Foubet. Recent investments have provided the vineyard with a tool equal to the challenge. Over the last few vintages, progress has been substantial, and Camensac is one of the crus that wine-lovers should take a close look at, especially as prices remain very reasonable, which we are delighted about.

About the wine:

Fresh, fruity bouquet with dark berry aromas followed by mentholated nuances. Greedy, juicy character on the palate. The wine is fruity, balanced and fresh. It's very glou-glou and will bring the lunchtime wine back into fashion!
