2020 Chateau Mouton Rothschild
$ 1900.00 AUD
A 100 point masterpiece made from 84% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot. In this vintage, the lots that made it into the blend were largely confined to the core gravel terroirs that represent Mouton's heart, meaning that there's a little less to go around. This was the first vintage overseen by Mouton's new technical director, Jean-Emmanuel Danjoy, and he has begun with a flying start.

About the wine
Tasting notes
Aromas and flavours of minty cassis, blackcurrants, blueberries, creme de cassis, flowers, pencil shavings, loamy soil, cigar wrapper, espresso roast and violets. It's broad and layered, with terrific concentration, beautifully refined tannins and a long, penetrating finish. Subtle Iron and blood orange. It goes on and on with freshness and weightlessness to it.

Bordeaux Blend
Bordeaux Blends are made up of a combination of traditional grapes found in the region of Bordeaux. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc are the dominant varieties used in these blends, but you'll also find Petit Verdot, Malbec, Carménère and other supporting grapes. The firm, structured and tannic Left Bank Bordeaux reds are typically Cabernet Sauvignon dominant, whereas the more juicy, lush and approachable Right Bank Bordeaux reds have Merlot as their primary grape. These wines are some of the world's greatest expressions and have been made to last decades!
