camaspelo is mostly cabernet sauvignon, blended with 20% merlot. the fruit shines through brightly in this cooler vintage, black cherry and plum with a saline minerality. the wine saw 40% new oak, perhaps for the last time, as christophe baron believes “the barrel is dead” and is moving to all-neutral, large format foudres, puncheons and concrete. soft, supple and sensuous, this is a delicious wine drinking quite nicely already.
