Mouton Cadet Réserve Saint-Èmilion AOC 2016 - Baron Rothschild

The Mouton Cadet Réserve Saint-Emilion by Baron Philippe de Rothschild gleams vividly garnet-red in the glass. On the nose, this French red wine opens up a fresh, elegant, intense and powerful bouquet with dense aromas of blackberries, currants and cherries, sweetly inserted fruits and violets, in the background reminiscences of gentle spices and mocha. On the palate the Réserve Saint-Emilion presents round fruit and soft, balanced tannins, as expected from a Saint-Emilion. Long, smooth finish.

Vinification of the Mouton Cadet Réserve Saint-Emilion by Baron Philippe de Rothschild

In the Saint-Emilion region, the terroir has two different zones according to the soil structure. On the one hand there are loamy limestone soils, on which especially the Merlot variety develops well. On the other hand there are sandy, very pebbly soils, on which the Cabernet vines feel very comfortable.
For this wine 88% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc and 2% Cabernet Sauvignon are vinified. The Merlot gives the wine its impressive gentleness and fruit, Cabernet Franc Sauvignon lend it the structure and the ageing potential. Maceration is carried out at low temperatures before and after fermentation.
