Réserve Mouton Cadet, Saint-Émilion

Origin: Saint-Émilion, Bordeaux, France

Grape Variety: Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon

Alcohol Level: 13.5% ABV

Colour: A deep garnet red.

Nose: Intense and deep, the nose expresses aromas of black fruit, blackberry jam and violet.

Palate: From a round and fruity attack on black fruit and spice flavours, the wine develops a dense and fruit-filled mid-palate, building to a long finish on well-integrated tannins. Displaying the typical characteristics of Saint-Emilion wines, with ripe Merlot and a structure that is both supple and powerful, this is a nicely rounded wine, very mature and beautifully balanced, both full and velvety.

Rosé Imperial displays a pink color with amber highlights. Lively and intense, the bouquet exudes red fruits (wild strawberry, raspberry, cherry) with floral nuances of rose and a slight hint of pepper. On the palate, the wine shows a juicy intensity of berries (strawberry, raspberry, red currant) rounded out by the fleshiness and firmness of peach and the freshness of a subtle note of mint.

Tasting Panel: Lovely pink hue; fresh, fragrant, and smooth with notes of strawberry and apple; elegant and long.

Wine Spectator: Delicate verbena and candied pink grapefruit zest accents lead to macerated blackberry, toasted nut and saline notes in this balanced and creamy rosé, with well-cut acidity.

Wine & Spirits: This blend is mostly Pinot Noir and Meunier, including 10 percent red wine for color. Chardonnay accounts for 10 to 20 percent, including a portion of reserve wines that may be providing the oceanic, oyster-shell notes that bring to mind Champagne's Kimmeridgean limestone. This is broad and loose up front, with fruity scents of orange and pomegranate. Then the wine keeps buzzing with brisk acidity, tightening up and extending the flavors with energy. An impressive release of Imperial.

James Suckling: A complex and fresh nose with fresh berries, as well as berry pastry and biscuits. The palate has a fresh, crisp and lively feel with impressively upbeat berries. Drink now.

Decanter: Restrained red fruit nose. Long, rolling palate, fresh and crisp throughout, with abundant cranberry, sherbet lemon, green herb and ginger flavours.
