Camille de Labrie is a blend of 80% Merlot grapes grown in rich clay-limestone soil, while 20% is sourced from gravel terroirs with a limestone subsoil. After aging for 16 months, including 10 months in barrels, Camille de Labrie boasts a complex bouquet of blackcurrant, raspberry, liquorice, and menthol. It also exhibits floral aromas, a robust structure, and a refined texture thanks to its mellow and velvety tannins. This wine is an 80-20 blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon.
The 2022 vintage for Bordeaux looks set to be surprisingly good, despite the perilous growing season.
The winter was cool but dry and remained so as temperatures crept up throughout the spring, allowing for both an early and successful budburst and flowering.
