Baron Phillipe Mouton Cadet Rouge 2017

An intense, glittering garnet red. The nose opens on red fruit aromas, especially cranberry and bilberry, with a hint of caramel, then goes on with airing to reveal notes of ripe fruit such as blackberry and cherry. From a streamlined attack on fresh fruit flavours, especially bilberry and cherry, with a touch of herby garrigue, the wine develops a round and very rich mid-palate, culminating in a long and highly elegant finish on spice notes, especially white pepper. Pairs well with pork tenderloin, duck breast and mild cheeses. Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon.

Available by the case. 6 per case.

The terroir consists of clay-limestone and gravelly clay soils. Monitoring of the vineyard and harvest combined with advances in the winemaking and maturing processes have made the wines rounder, smoother and more supple, enriched their texture and given them toasted notes, while keeping the ripe red fruit aromas typical of Mouton Cadet. Matured for 16 months.
