Mouton Cadet Réserve Sauternes AOC - Baron Philippe de Rothschild

Mouton Cadet Réserve Sauternes from the Bordeaux wine-growing region reveals itself in the glass in bright light yellow, golden yellow. After the first swirl, you can perceive a perfect balance in this dessert wine, because it stands out on the walls of the glass neither watery nor syrupy or liqueur-like. This French cuvée shows wonderfully complex notes of apples, nashi pear, vineyard peach and lime in the glass. These are joined by hints of oriental spices, black tea and cinnamon.

Mouton Cadet Réserve Sauternes can rightly be described as particularly fruit-forward and velvety, having been vinified with a pleasantly sweet flavor profile. On the palate, the texture of this well-balanced dessert wine is wonderfully melting. With its incisive fruit acidity, the Mouton Cadet Réserve Sauternes presents itself impressively fresh and lively on the palate. In the finish, this well storable dessert wine from the wine-growing region of Bordeaux finally inspires with considerable length. Once again, hints of nashi pear and pear show through.
