“Le Château de Maucamp” is present in the first edition of the Cocks & Féret of 1850 and 1868. In the 1922 edition, Dominique Cambours’ heirs were the owners until its acquisition, on January 12, 1954, by Madame Gisèle Tessandier (born Thomas de Dancourt), who died on June 13, 1954.
The following year, Mr. Jacques Tessandier (his husband) decided to uproot 15 hectares of vines during the slump of the Bordeaux viticulture.
The rebirth of Château Maucamps took place in 1973, when France, Alain, and Christian Tessandier, the current owners (the children of Gisèle and Jacques), reintroduced vines to the property, which was for almost 20 years a first-rate dairy farm. Mr. Marc Perrin led the restructuring.
The plantations initiated in 1972 persisted until 1984, for the plots in full ownership. At the same time, acquisitions and leases expand the production land base.

TheWine
A fine and elegant wine! The attack is rich and very fresh. On the mouth, we find the aromas of red fruits and spices that make the typicality of Maucamps (black cherries, blackberries, pepper). There is a slight oakiness, well integrated, with very supple tannins. The wine is silky, velvety with a wonderful length on the finish.
