Château Malmaison

Château Malmaison Moulis 2016 0,75l

Château Malmaison in Moulis-en-Médoc forms part of the Edmond de Rothschild Heritage estates. Its roughly 33 hectares of vines grow on clay-limestone soils with gravel, a terroir that particularly favours Merlot, which dominates the blend ahead of Cabernet Sauvignon. Grapes are harvested by hand, fermented in temperature-controlled tanks and aged in French oak barrels. The style combines Merlot’s supple richness with classic Médoc structure. The bouquet shows blackcurrant, plum and floral notes with a touch of menthol and discreet oak. On the palate Château Malmaison is juicy and medium-bodied, with polished tannins, fresh acidity and an elegant, fruit-driven finish.

Sixteen months in barriques round out the fruit and give this Moulis added structure and depth.
