Chateau Camensac, Haut-Medoc, 2020

Château de Camensac, a historic Fifth Growth in the 1855 Classification, has quietly built a reputation for producing serious, age-worthy Haut-Médoc at a relative bargain. Nestled near Saint-Julien’s border, the estate benefits from similar gravelly soils, which lend the wines their hallmark refinement and structure. The 2020 vintage, shaped by a warm growing season and a perfectly timed harvest, delivers a beautifully poised wine—ripe yet classically framed, with a precision that speaks to both terroir and careful winemaking.
