Réserve Mouton Cadet Graves AC

Wine information: The Graves is the oldest winegrowing area of the Bordeaux region, dating back to Roman times. Now stretching for 65 km along the left bank of the Garonne to the gates of Bordeaux, the vineyards of the Graves appellation enjoy a very mild climate. This wine is a blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc. The wine, an attractive, vivid red with a purple tint, has a nicely open, expressive nose, substantial and refined, displaying a multitude of fruit aromas (cherry, raspberry, blackberry, wild strawberry) mingled with some mineral touches and the smoky notes typical of the appellation. a generous, well-integrated tannic structure emerges from a round and forthright attack, while juicy red berry fruit gives plenty of body and flavour on the mid-palate. All the character of the grape varieties and the expression of a unique terroir combine in the succulent and flavoursome balance of a long and elegant finish.
