Chateau Camus Graves Rouge
Vignobles Larriaut
France - Bordeaux - Graves

A dark purple color, this wine exhibits some delicate oak aromas, well-integrated with notes of red fruits and spices. The mouthfeel is fresh and fruity, with soft and elegant tannins. The wine is ready to drink but can also be aged for a few years to develop some secondary aromas with truffles and mushroom components.

2022 Chateau Camus Graves Rouge - 90 PTS - AL

2022 Chateau Camus Graves Rouge - 90 PTS - AL

andreas larsson logo"Dark garnet color with a purple hue. Pure young fruit and mild oak, rather dark fruit, cassis and cabernet like fruit notes with mint, sage and tobacco leaf. Generous volume, a youthful texture but rip extract and tannin, well balanced oak and fresh dark berry flavors with fine balance and length."

 wine enthusiast 88 pts"The tannins are dense and richly concentrated in this blackberry-flavored, structured wine. It is obviously very young, showing its wood aging as well as succulent fruits and acidity. The wine will take its time, so drink from 2022. - Roger VOSS"
