MOUTON CADET RÉSERVE SAUTERNES 2012, BORDEAUX, FRANCE
REGION: Bordeaux
GRAPE VARIETY: 75% Sémillon, 23% Sauvignon Blanc & 2% Muscadelle
TASTING NOTES: Bright gold in color. The nose opens on yellow fruit (peach, mirabelle), then goes on with airing to develop an attractive aromatic complexity on notes of bergamot, gentle spice and quince.
From a powerful, refined attack, the wine expresses crystallised quince and mirabelle jam flavours enhanced with a fresh touch of bergamot. On the finish, the wine’s sweetness and power bring a balance typical of Sauternes.
