L. LURTON CHATEAU DE CAMARSAC

Merlot 65 %, Cabernet Sauvignon 35 %– France

Located between Bordeaux and Saint Emilion, in the heart of the Entre-Deux-Mers is the medieval Chateau de Camarsac, producing this incredible valued Bordeaux from a selection of old vines. .

Built in the fourteenth century, it owes its nickname Black Prince Castle to the famous Prince of Wales. Captured and occupied during the Hundred Years War by a garrison of Du Guesclin that ravaged the region, it was besieged and dismantled by Bordeaux in 1377. The obstinacy of its owners, the family Canteloup, allowed the estate to rise from its ruins; their descendants, the family of Ceres, occupied the property for six centuries, and gradually transformed the austere fortress into a majestic sight. Lucien Lurton, owner of Brane-Cantenac and other famous Chateau, bought Camarsac in 1973, reviving its vineyards in the Entre-Deux-Mers. Since 2007, his son, Thierry Lurton has enthusiastically taken up the reins of the property.

After blending, Château de Camarsac is aged in oak barrels for 6 to 9 months. Structured, complex, and bold with aromas of lush red fruits, vanilla, toasty notes and spices. Drink now or hold up to 8 years.

Pairing: veal with mushrooms, lamb stew
