Cabernet Sauvignon & Merlot
Tasting note
Deep ruby/purple with firm tannins and a nice meaty, spiciness, this wine shows slight narrowness and astringency, but it is well-made and certainly above-average. Drink it over the next decade.
Occupying some 50 hectares on the plateau in Saint-Laurent-Médoc, not far from Château Lagrange over the border in Saint-Julien, Château Camensac is another of the Médoc's improving estates. Today, under the management of Céline Villars-Foubet and Jean-Pierre Foubet, something of a renaissance is underway, with some 35 hectares of newly planted Cabernet Sauvignon replacing improperly situated Merlot on the two large gravel domes that represent the heart of the property. Since the estate's existing vine genetics were not deemed good enough, massale selections from elsewhere and high-quality clones have been chosen for these new plantings. In the winery, after an initial dalliance with a rather oaky, extracted style, Eric Boissenot has replaced the previous consultant enologist, and the approach now favors elegance and classicism. As the new Cabernet Sauvignon plantings start contributing to the blend, Camensac seems to improve every year, almost irrespective of vintage conditions, and it's clearly a property to watch, producing perfumed, supple wines of considerable appeal.
