DOMAINE DE CAMPLONG cuvee was made first time in 2010.
It's the result of a selection of the best parts of plots of the estate.
DOMAINE CAMPLONG is the achievement of full bodied wine with fine tanins, great balance and very long taste ...
This quest of the best is extended with vines creations of years 2013 and 2014 on a fantastic place named "Le Rocher du Corbeau" (that means "the rock of the raven") on limestone soils and schistous subsoil at 350 meters above sea level.
Goal will be to go on the production of a really great wine ...
