Tasting notes
A very good effort from Camensac, the 1997 reveals good cleanliness, elegance, and a spicy, berry, herb, and mineral-scented nose with mocha in the background. The wine is medium-bodied, with low acidity, and attractive density. It should drink well for 5-7 years. (No tasting note was provided in Issue 128. We have instead included the text of the tasting note from Issue 116)

About the producer
A stone’s throw from Saint-Julien, Ch. de Camensac was long underperforming, but – under the ownership of the Merlaut-Villars family – was totally restructured, and quality transformed.
