Château Cambon la Pelouse | 5+1 Promoprijs | Haut-Médoc
Red wine | France, MEDOC-HAUT-MEDOC | 2018
The primary aromas are forthright and intense, reflecting the heat of the vintage, combining blackcurrant fruit with attractive leafy herbaceousness, while the finish is starting to display the graphite and dark-chocolate complexity that is a distinction of good left-bank red bordeaux.

Vinification
Every tank is run
off and the juice is cooled to around 2°C which clarifies it in just a few hours. This clear juice is then
pumped back over the fruit, which is left to soak before fermentation at temperatures that are maintained around
5°C (41°F) for four to six days. Alcoholic fermentation lasts about ten days. The cap floating on the top of the
juice is broken up twice per day, using compressed air or CO2. Later as fermentation proceeds, the cap is simply
humidified. A two-week post-fermentation stage takes place at a temperature of 28°C (82°F). The juice is tasted
every day to decide when these operations have run their course and should be ended.
