Description

Only 20% of the Chateau de la Greniere is aged in old oak barrels whilst the remainder is aged in a mixture of steel and concrete vats.  The result is a wonderfully fruit led style of claret that shows complex red fruit flavours, is generous and rounded on the palate and finishes with a lovely balance of power and finesse.   


The history of this chateau dates back to the 17th century and they are generally considered one of the leading lights in the Saint-Emilion satellite of Lussac.  The vineyards are farmed organicially with the utmost care being taken to promote soil health through various biodynamic practises.  The vineyard is planted with a classic right bank mix of 70% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Cabernet Franc.

Moulin Camus Gamay.JPG

2023 Gamay, Domaine Moulin Camus, IGP Loire

Gamay

This 100% Gamay from Domaine Moulin Camus comes from grapes grown on a slope of pure mica schist which gives the wine juicy, rounded red fruits a bit of tautness and minerality.  A warmer than normal, sulphur free maceration for three days helps bring out some warmth and roundness to the fruit, making it slightly beaujolais'esque but without the bubble gum/commercial edge that one would normally find in this price range.
