About this winery
Chateau La Raz Caman benefits from the skill and know-how of 7 generations of winemakers. The estate of 40 hectares (98 acres) is located in Anglade, on the right bank of the Gironde, just across the river from Pauillac, halfway between Blaye and Saint-Ciers sur Gironde. When visiting the Bordeaux or Blaye regions, wander off the beaten track and come and taste our wines: Merlot, Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, directly from the barrel.

Production notes
La Raz Caman vineyard is located on the “chalky clay, stony” slopes of the Anglade commune. Maturation: One-third in new oak, one-third in one-year-old barrels and one-third in 2-year-old barrels for 12 to 14 months. Vinification: Each plot is vinified individually, with cold maceration for 4 to 5 days, and temperature-controlled fermentation according to grape variety. Vatting time: 3 to 4 weeks. Malolactic fermentation: half in barrels.
Tasting notes
Dark ruby hue. Powerful nose opens with subtle aromas of blackcurrant, cedar and graphite. Subtle aromas of undergrowth complete the picture. This dry red shows good acidity and rather drying tannins. It reveals an ample texture that ends with a persistent finish.
