Chateau
Camou is another boutique winery that is helping to chance the perception
of Mexican wines.
Its intensive vineyard-maintenance techniques and low yields result in
superior wines. Surrounded by an otherworld landscape of chaparral
and
boulders, Camou’s vineyards are based in the French model of dense
vine plantings, which allow for deeply concentrated fruit. |

Founded
in 1985, Camou specializes in classic Bordeaux varietals, including
cabernet
sauvignon, cab franc and merlot. Camou also produces a small amount
of younger wines under the Flor of Guadaluoe label that are features
by
the glass at such Southwest-style restaurants as Coyote Café in
Las Vegas and Santa Fe., and Maya in San Francisco. |
