Second de Camensac, Haut Médoc AOC

Second de Camensac is the second wine of Château de Camensac, a Fifth Growth (1855) in the Haut-Médoc. A second wine is made from younger vines and lots not chosen for the estate's main wine, and is usually ready to drink sooner. Left Bank Bordeaux reds are blends led by Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot, structured and firm when young and able to age.

Serve at 16–18°C, ideally decanted, with red meat, lamb or hard cheese.
