Mouton Cadet
Bordeaux 2010
Blend: Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon, Muscadelle
Bordeaux, France
10.00 USD
Created in the 1970's by my father, the legendary Baron Philippe, winegrower and poet, Mouton Cadet Blanc combines the Bordeaux winemaking traditions with the values of authenticity and exacting standards that have always been the pride of our family. It unites several fine Bordeaux appellations renowned for their white grape varieties. (bottle label)
On the nose this wine had a very floral nose on it. It was semi sweet but also very perfumey...I thought of honeysuckle and lavender. There were some almost rustic notes and a nice earthiness, it also had a strange fuller creamy richness. It felt a bit more buttery in a way. On the palate it was fairly dry, high
acid and a little heat. It was counterbalanced by a nice creamy
buttery richness that helped to cut through the acid. It wasn't
overly fruity but it certainly had some notes of apple. There were
other earthy notes as well, stony almost.
