Chateau Malmaison Moulis en Medoc

Château Malmaison, in the Moulis-en-Médoc appellation, is one of the oldest estates in Médoc. Grapes have been grown on the site since the Middle Ages, planted by owners past and prolifically farmed by the sizeable religious community. This property, which adjoins Château Clarke, was purchased by Baron de Rothschild in 1973 in honor of his wife, the elegant Baroness Nadine de Rothschild, who is also passionate about gardening. With Barons continual strive for perfection, he ensured the vineyard was restored to its former glory. The vineyard, located just west of Margaux, now covers 33 hectares of clay-limestone soil, well suited to Merlot.

'Deep crimson color. The nose is expressive and intense, with fresh fruit (black currant and plum) aromas, a touch of menthol, and delicate hints of oak. The wine starts out rich and full-bodied, going on to show considerable elegance and a fine balance between well-focused, velvety tannin and acidity that contributes freshness and length.
Blend: 80% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon' - Winemaker Notes
