From a family estate in the Entre Deux Mers, this is a classic claret. It's from a 5-Star vintage too, which produced wines with lovely ripe fruit. In a half bottle it's ready to deliver lush plum flavour and creamy cassis length already.
Tasting notes
Silky red fruits, leafy savoury edge with rounded tannins

If you're looking for a ripe claret ready for drinking now, but will age too, then 2018 is an excellent vintage to choose. It had some tricky moments in spring due to abundant rain and warm conditions, but vignerons who worked hard in the vineyard were rewarded with super quality fruit. That was due to a hot, dry summer that extended right through into October. A rare treat. Château Camarsan has been the property of the Coutureau family for five generations. It lies in the village of Grézillac, with vineyards dotted around close by, all in the Entre Deux Mers. Using nearly all Merlot, with a little raspberry and leafy scented Cabernet Franc, with no oak, it is showing smooth, ripe red fruits. An elegant classic to serve with roast meats.
