Mouton Cadet Reserve Graves Blanc by Baron Rothschild 2022 750ml
This refined white from Baron Philippe de Rothschild blends Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc, and Muscadelle for a graceful expression of Graves. Aromas of white blossom, yuzu, and bergamot meet a flinty mineral edge. On the palate, citrus and passion fruit notes shine, with a fresh, silky texture and a clean, lingering finish.
Moutoncadet.com
A refined, elegant and seductive wine with citrus fruit and white blossom notes and a remarkable mineral cast.
Aspect
Linden yellow with a slight golden hue.
Nose
The nose opens on white blossom aromas such as acacia and hawthorn, then goes on with airing to develop citrus fruit notes, especially yuzu and bergamot, and a touch of the flinty minerality typical of the appellation.
Palate
A smooth and fresh attack lifted by perky citrus flavours leads into a highly refined mid-palate on notes of passion-fruit and sage and a finish that confirms the mineral quality clearly apparent on the nose.
Blend
Semillon - Density and concentration
Sauvignon Blanc - Freshness and minerality
