2016 Chateau Campillot Cru Bourgois Medoc

The 2016 Château Campilot is a red Bordeaux wine from the appellation of Listrac-Médoc, located in the Médoc region of Bordeaux.

Deep, dark ruby with slight garnet reflections. The bouquet opens with aromas of ripe blackberries, plums, and blackcurrants, typical of the Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant blend. There's a subtle hint of tobacco, cedarwood, and earthy undertones that speak to its aging in oak barrels. A touch of graphite or mineral quality may also be present, reflecting the terroir of the Médoc.

On the palate, the wine is full-bodied with firm tannins and a balanced acidity. Flavors of dark fruits like black cherries, cassis, and blackberries dominate, alongside a touch of spice, vanilla, and toasted oak. The wine has a smooth, velvety mouthfeel, with a long and structured finish that offers lingering notes of dried herbs and a faint smokiness.

The 2016 Château Campilot shows a good balance of power and elegance, with enough structure to age well for several years. The tannins are present but not overpowering, suggesting the wine will evolve nicely in the bottle.
