Château Camplazens
Languedoc
Chateau Camplazens is located at the top of La Clape, a limestone mountain 10 miles long and 4 miles wide overlooking the
Mediterranean. La Clape is an official sub-appellation of Coteaux du Languedoc that is gaining in reputation for its wine
making. Only 26 vineyards are situated on La Clape, an environmentally protected land since 1965, and the only permitted
activity is grape growing.
Chateau Camplazens was the first vineyard in the Languedoc to install an automated pigeage machine in its cave. The device
moves from tank to tank along a track and brakes up the cap on the fermenting must at regular intervals. Automating the
pigeage eliminates backbreaking work, and regulates the process for better results.
Knowing it takes more than new machinery to make great wine, careful harvesting and vinification practices have been put in
place. All of the individual vineyard areas are harvested and vinified separately. It is only after fermentation when the quality
of each vat is evaluated that the careful blending begins. The AOC wines spend time in new and second year French oak to
impart structure and balance. The vineyard practices a light-handed oak regimen so as to not mask the quality of the fruit. All
the wines are labeled and bottled at the vineyard.
