With its name going back to 16th-century stag hunting by King Francis I, Camp Long is a longstanding family vineyard. Since 1848, eight generations of the Gualtieri family have followed one another. The place, which has existed for eight generations, is driven by respect for the past, attention to the present and a look into the future.

Tasting
This wine couldn’t get paler before it becomes white. But the light structure and the delicious red fruits prove it’s a rosé. Good acidity permeates right through, giving intense red-currant and white-peach flavors. It is smooth although there is a touch of minerality from the schist soil. Perfumed and fruity.
Food pairings
The wine is rich and aromatic enough and has the perfect levels of crispiness to be enjoyed to the fullest when drinking on ice on warm summer days with fresh alfresco fare. Particularly yummy with summer salads, charcuterie and most seafood dishes, and smoked salmon.
Reviews
"The palate is bone dry, balanced with a freshness and softness, refreshing flavours of raspberry, redcurrant and pink grapefruit, with a sea breeze minerality through the finish. Ideal as an aperitif and terrific with seafood, particularly shellfish like crab."
