Description

A beautiful brilliant color, this wine offers a great aromatic balance with complex and mineral notes, offering white fruit (peach and pear), citrus (grapefruit and lemon), and a toasty finish with a delicate oak presence. The mouthfeel is rich and complex with a great minerality, freshness, structure, and a good length to the finish.

Manual harvest. 15 days of fermentation. 20% of the final blend is aged in barrels for 6 months while the other 80% stays in stainless steel tanks. After 6 months of aging, the final blend goes in a tank for an extra 2 months on the fine lees. No ML. Wine is filtered before bottling to ensure stability.

The estate has been operated by the Larriaut family since 1890, and Château Camus itself since 1923. Today, it is run by Joris Larriaut who represents the 4th generation.

The family used to practice polyculture, a mixed farming of vines, pear trees, and tobacco plants, but in the 1960s, Jean-Pierre Larriaut decided to convert his gravelly and silico-gravel soils into a single landscape: vineyards. For the reds, he planted Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, and for the whites, Sauvignon and Semillon. Today, the estate spreads over 11 hectares (27 acres).

The gravel and pebble-based soils give birth to a racy red wine with great aromatic power (blackcurrant, cherry, cinnamon) and great aging potential and a dry white wine with lively and crisp aromas of citrus fruit and white flowers.

If it was a mandatory change to modernize the winery, the newer generation is still trying to preserve the typicity of the soils and the unique aromas coming from the terroir. They are also working towards keeping the tradition of the Estate, while keeping as a goal the preservation and the respect of the environment.
