Château Camou produces age-worthy, terroir-focused wines, most notably classic Bordeaux blends as well as single varietals like Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Grenache and Zinfandel. Today they have 21.5 hectares (47 acres) planted to the many varieties. Originally from Mendoza, Argentina, Sergio Heras belongs to the fourth generation of a family of viticulturists.
