The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Visionary and fiercely independent, the Merlaut family—of Chasse-Spleen fame—has played a key role in shaping Bordeaux’s history.

When they took over Château Camensac in 2005, their ambition was clear: to turn it into a Médoc flagship, just as they had elevated estates like Gruaud-Larose, Citran, and of course, Chasse-Spleen. Now it's time to discover the results for yourself with the stunning 2008 vintage—an archetype of classic Bordeaux, combining elegance, structure, and power.
Wine Beneath its deep, dark ruby hue, the 2021 Château Camensac reveals a beautifully perfumed bouquet of red plum and cedarwood. The medium-bodied palate is silky and refined, with impressively fine tannins. True to its noble, classic style, the finish is long and lingering, marked by persistent graphite notes. A wine of true elegance and distinction.
Vinification Hand harvested from September 28 to October 6 for Merlot and from October 6 to 13 for Cabernet Sauvignon.
