Mouton CadetLes Terroirs
Merlot: 82%, Cabernet Sauvignon: 16%, Malbec: 2%
Mouton Cadet’s winemakers cooperated with 8 of our winegrowers to select 50 hectares among our best of organic vineyards in the Bordeaux terroir. In the Blayais, Eastern Gironde, and Premières Côtes de Bordeaux areas, the choice was made to opt for predominantly clay, limestone soils, but also silty-clay and silty on a limestone base, to produce a structured, balanced and complex wine, with the emphasis on fruit.
ASPECT: Intense crimson with a slight garnet hue NOSE: The nose opens on ripe red fruit aromas, especially Burlat cherry, blackberry and bilberry together with a touch of violet, complemented after airing by red fruit notes of redcurrant and wild strawberry as well as hints of rosemary. PALATE: After a seductive attack on a mix of fresh red and black fruit, the well-rounded and elegantly structured mid-palate leads into a finish sustained by supple and refined tannins. ABV. 14% vol.
Vegetarian moussaka, beef carpaccio, or savory tart with grilled vegetables. Serving temperature: 14-16°C
Bordeaux · France
A partnership with the land.A fruit-led Bordeaux.
Les Terroirs 2023 brings together Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and a small proportion of Malbec. The grapes come from partner growers working clay-limestone soils.
Eight months in vats preserve a profile of cherry, blackberry and bilberry, with violet and rosemary notes. Supple tannins support the fruit rather than dominating it.
