Release Notes:
La Moulinière Rouge is a great, inexpensive Bordeaux made with 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon from vines grown on sandy soils near the Dordogne river. The grapes undergo a long, two-week maceration period, which leads to a wine with plentiful amounts of red fruit flavors and a fruity, pleasant finish. This wine has been named one of the world’s greatest red wine values and the 2005 is excellent. Château La Moulinière is the second label of Château Cadillac Lesgourgues.
Tasting Notes:
A wine with a deep red color and a developed nose of cassis, raspberry and cherry. It is very fruity in the mouth with fresh red fruit and earthy spice flavors leading to a nice, long finish. A very approachable and versatile wine thanks to the Merlot, but the smooth tannins give it staying power. Perfect with grilled meats, burgers, cheeses, and lamb. Can keep until 2012.
