Rated estate (2021 guide) 3 stars (High-quality production, serving as a benchmark in its sector)
About the estate:
The Merlaut family strives to improve the wines from this fairly large vineyard, which neighbors the Saint-Julien appellation. Here, the focus is not on producing impressive samples, but rather on consistency and uniformity in the quality of the wine delivered. The arrival of a new and talented director has brought greater rigour and precision to the production of a typical Médoc wine with character, which is somewhat austere and reserved when young, but gradually reveals notes of cedar and spices. The latest vintages are therefore the ones to choose.

About wine:
Fruity nose (blackberry). It is light and juicy, perhaps a little bitter on the fruit, but with lovely strawberries and raspberries. The acidity gives it life and body, with a pleasant hint of mint that refreshes the finish. A lighter style.

Rated estate (2022 guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking and, as such, all the estates listed in it, even those without stars, represent, in our opinion, the excellence of French production.)
About the estate:
Camensac, acquired in 2005 by the Merlaut family, is now managed by the Chasse-Spleen team, led by Céline Villars-Foubet and Jean-Pierre Foubet. Recent investments have equipped the estate with the tools it needs to rise to the challenge. Over the last few vintages, substantial progress has been made and Camensac is one of the wines that enthusiasts should keep a close eye on, especially as the prices remain very reasonable, which we welcome.
