Chateau de Camensac is a winery in the Haut-Medoc appellation of the Bordeaux region of France.
The wine produced here was classified as one of eighteen Cinquiemes Crus (Fifth Growths) in the Bordeaux Wine Official Classification of 1855. The vineyards of Chateau Camensac are in the commune of Saint-Laurent-Medoc, just beyond the boundary of the Saint-Julien appellation. As such it is entitled to only the Haut-Medoc appellation for its wines.
The estate's 85 hectares of vines (60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot) are planted at a dense 10,000 vines per hectare and have an average age of 35 years. The estate limits yields to 45 hectolitres per hectare and grapes are picked and sorted by hand.
Camensac is now producing very high-quality, concentrated wines that emphasise elegance, finesse, harmony and balance, rather than power and brute force. They are very approachable when young but possess sufficient tannins and structure to continue improving for up to 10 years.
