Description
What kind of wine is it
Chateau Moutinot Saint-Estephe is a dry red wine that embodies the spirit of Bordeaux, originating from the Saint-Estephe area. This structured blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot reflects the typical profile of the Left Bank. The palate is full, characterised by pronounced tannic density and a great aptitude for ageing. Maturation in French barrels imparts a compact texture and a persistent finish, making it an ideal match for meats and cheeses.
Where does it come from
This wine is produced in Saint-Estephe, in the Médoc region of Bordeaux, an area renowned for its complex and long-lived reds. Chateau Moutinot cultivates its vines on clay and limestone soils with a rich presence of gravel, encouraging concentrated fruit and a solid structure. On tasting, the connection to the land is evident in its deep ruby colour and pronounced mineral character. The aromatic profile recalls wild berries, graphite and spices, maintaining a classic style combined with remarkable finesse and precision.
How is it produced
Maturation involves a lengthy ageing process in French barrels, lasting between fourteen and eighteen months. This technique consolidates the tannic structure and broadens the bouquet, weaving together aromas of red and black fruits, smoky notes and delicate hints of leather. On the palate, it reveals itself as a powerful and rich wine, supported by a firm texture and long persistence. To best express its potential, it is recommended to decant for an hour. Served between 16 and 18°C, it pairs perfectly with braised beef cheek, stewed game, lamb and chocolate.
