Mouton Cadet Rosé Bordeaux (75cl, 12.5%)

A Merlot-dominant Bordeaux rosé from Baron Philippe de Rothschild, bottled at 12.5% ABV in a 750ml format. It is produced using the saignée method, with juice bled off red wine fermentation tanks at an early stage, and the blend is predominantly Merlot (91%), with Cabernet Franc (4%), Malbec (4%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (1%). The aroma opens with fresh strawberry and raspberry, followed by white peach, dried thyme and a subtle orange-zest lift, with a faint tomato-leaf herbal note beneath. On the palate it is soft and fruit-forward, with crushed strawberry and red currant, citrus zest brightening the fruit and light minerality providing structure. The finish is medium in length with a clean, dry close and lingering raspberry and gentle mineral freshness.
