Chateau Camino Salva AOC Haut-Medoc, 2019

Owned by the Kopp family, Château Camino Salva is run by family member Hélène Soual and her husband Frédéric. Hélène has approximately 33 hectares of vineyards on a gravelly outcrop at Cussac-Fort-Médoc, between Margaux and Saint-Julien. The 2019 vintage has delicious mulberry and raspberry characters, complemented with musky, spicy notes. It is supple with ripe mid-palate fruits and a fine texture. Produced from a blend of 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 39% Merlot, and 5% Petit Verdot, grapes underwent a cold soak for 6-10 days prior to fermentation. The different varieties were blended in January following harvest, and the final assemblage matured 50% in oak barrels for nine months.
