Château Moutinot Saint-Estephe 13,5%
From £22.80
The geology of the Saint Estephe appellation is particularly different to its neighbouring appellations. Firstly, the average altitude is higher, with slopes which enable rainfall to drain and limestone sub-soils which bring water back up through capillarity during periods of drought. Two ledges in the shape of a half-moon from South to East, facing the Gironde River,
emphasise once again the originality of this vineyard area.
The presence of clay in Saint Estephe marks a real difference with the other terroirs. It has meant that exceptional wines could be made in very dry years.
The Saint Estèphe style of architecture in the village and in the properties adds a mineral touch which delicately punctuates the range of greens in the vineyards. It is in this special landscape that Chateau Moutinot is located, at the heart of a vineyard area which includes five classified growths and four ‘crus bourgeois exceptionnels’.

Drinkability
Fermented in temperature-controlled (thermoregulated) stainless steel and cement vats to preserve the grapes’ fresh and natural aromatics. The wine undergoes little to no oak aging. This choice allows pure, primary fruit flavors (like blackberry, cherry coulis, and spice) to shine through without heavy woody interference.
The wine is bottled in the glass and has no date of expiry. We recommend to drink it with in 10 years from the vintage.
Store in a cool dry and dark place on it’s side.
Bouquet

Château Moutinot pairs beautifully with roasted and grilled red meats, robust lamb chops, rib of beef, venison, and earthy mushroom dishes
