2018 CHATEAU CROIX MOUTON 'BORDEAUX SUPERIEUR'
THE YEAR.
The M printed on the label of this fine-tasting and fleshy Bordeaux Supérieur wine marks the personality and particularities of each vintage and changes
colour every year. This cuvée from Château Croix Mouton, which dominates the Dordogne, is made exclusively from Merlot, the emblematic grape variety of
the right bank of the Garonne, and has a deep ruby red colour with beautiful shiny reflections. On the palate, small, acidic red fruits (mainly red plum, cherry)
follow one another. On the palate it is full-bodied and juicy, full of charming finesse. This wine is best appreciated when young, when its fruity bouquet
shows all its vivacity.
THE CHÂTEAU CROIX MOUTON ESTATE
Château Croix Mouton is located in the town of Lugon on the right bank of the Bordeaux River and covers almost 70 hectares of vines. It is owned by the
Janoueix family and thrives on the clayey soil of Carney Island. The 2019 grape varieties focus on Merlot (96%), complemented by Cabernet Franc (2.5%),
Malbec (1%) and Petit Verdot (0.5%). The vines are on average 38 years old. The planting density is about 3,600 to 6,000 vines per hectare.
The work in the vineyard is meticulous and includes tillage, grassing, thinning and some leaf thinning. After sorting at harvest, vinification takes place in
concrete and stainless steel tanks with openings and regular puncturing. Fermentation takes place under temperature control (maximum 26-27 °C). The
maturatThe story of Ampélia is about a meeting, a challenge and a conviction.
In 1996, three years before acquiring the lands of Ampélia, François Despagne inherited the
Grand Corbin-Despagne estate from his family, making it the seventh generation of his
family at the helm of this Saint-Emilion property.
François then eagerly sought a new challenge and created a new vineyard -this time, not in
Saint-Emilion, but in Castillon - Côtes de Bordeaux, the bordering appellation.ion period is between three weeks and one month. Maturation lasts between three
and four months on the fine lees in barrels (20%) and in vats with or without wood (80%).
The top Bordeaux produced by the estate are pleasant, fruity wines that tend to be drunk at a young age. Gourmet and fleshy wines that are also quite
accessible.
