The grapes are hand-harvested and undergo fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve fresh fruit aromas. The wine is then aged for 14 months in a combination of new and one-year-old oak barrels, which imparts subtle oak nuances and enhances structure. It offers ripe bramble fruit flavours, a firm tannic backbone, and a touch of pepperiness, reflecting the elegance and precision of the Margaux terroir.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eOrigin \u003cstrong\u003eMargaux, Medoc, Bordeaux, France\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eGrapes \u003cstrong\u003e70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eVintage \u003cstrong\u003e2020\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eAlcohol \u003cstrong\u003e13.5%\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eStyle \u003cstrong\u003eElegant, structured, peppery\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eBottle size \u003cstrong\u003e75cl\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eWinemaking \u003cstrong\u003eHand-harvested; fermentation in stainless steel; aged 14 months in a mix of new and one-year-old oak barrels; minimal intervention; unfined, unfiltered\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eNotes \u003cstrong\u003eHolistic farming, no added sulphur, sustainable practices\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chateau Moutte Blanc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55296879133048,"sku":"BORDEAU-20-MOU-RED","price":27.35,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0040\/6070\/8993\/files\/Chateau_Moutte_Blanc.png?v=1759333378"},{"product_id":"haut-medoc-moisin-chateau-moutte-blanc-2020","title":"Bordeaux Supérieur - Moisin, Chateau Moutte Blanc 2020","description":"\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003eChâteau Moutte Blanc is a family-owned estate located in the Margaux commune of Macau, Bordeaux.

The domaine farms around fourteen hectares across the limestone plateau and south facing slopes above Sainte Colombe, an area known for its rich clay limestone soils and relatively high altitude. Vianney converted the vineyards to organic farming in 2011 and to full biodynamics soon after, driven by a focus on soil regeneration, closed loop composting and low impact treatments. Vineyard work is entirely manual, with careful canopy management and low yields aimed at maintaining ripeness and balance. In the cellar, fermentations proceed with indigenous yeasts in concrete or small vats, extraction is gentle and precise, and élevage relies mainly on concrete and large neutral wood, allowing the natural freshness and clarity of Castillon fruit to lead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2043\" data-start=\"1151\"\u003eCastillon Côtes de Bordeaux 2023 is drawn from several parcels on the limestone crest above Sainte Colombe, where clay rich topsoils over hard calcaire provide both water retention and firm mineral structure. The 2023 season in Castillon saw a cool, steady spring, good flowering and a warm but not excessive summer, with intermittent July and August rainfall supporting even ripening and healthy acidity. Merlot was harvested by hand in small lots at full physiological ripeness, then destemmed and fermented naturally in concrete vats with careful remontage to protect fruit purity. The wine was aged in a mix of concrete and large older barrels for around twelve months, preserving the limestone driven tension of the terroir. It shows dark plum, blackberry, wild herbs and graphite, with supple tannins, lifted acidity and a clean, mineral line that reflects the plateau’s chalky subsoil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2463\" data-start=\"2045\"\u003eOrigin \u003cstrong\u003eCastillon, Bordeaux, France\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"2082\" data-start=\"2079\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2463\" data-start=\"2045\"\u003eGrapes \u003cstrong\u003eMerlot\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"2098\" data-start=\"2095\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2463\" data-start=\"2045\"\u003eVintage \u003cstrong\u003e2023\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"2113\" data-start=\"2110\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2463\" data-start=\"2045\"\u003eAlcohol \u003cstrong\u003e14%\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"2134\" data-start=\"2131\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2463\" data-start=\"2045\"\u003eStyle\u003cstrong\u003e Bright, structured, mineral, supple\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"2178\" data-start=\"2175\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2463\" data-start=\"2045\"\u003eBottle size \u003cstrong\u003e75cl\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"2197\" data-start=\"2194\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2463\" data-start=\"2045\"\u003eWinemaking \u003cstrong\u003eOrganic and biodynamic farming, hand harvested, destemmed, natural fermentation in concrete, gentle extraction, aged in concrete and large neutral wood, unfined, unfiltered\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"2383\" data-start=\"2380\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2463\" data-start=\"2045\"\u003eNotes \u003cstrong\u003eBiodynamic influence, low intervention, limestone driven, purity focused\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Chateau Moutte Blanc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55355323122040,"sku":"CASTICOBO-23-BEY-RED","price":22.05,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0040\/6070\/8993\/files\/Chateau_Beynat.png?v=1762803629"}],"url":"https:\/\/sipwines.shop\/collections\/chateau-moutte-blanc.oembed","provider":"SipWines Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
