Baronne Nadine De Rothschild Chateau Malmaison 2016

Not to be confused with the Napoleonic museum (Château de Malmaison) located just west of Paris, the 24 hectare Château Malmaison in Moulis, Gironde, was purchased by the Rothschilds in 1973 and lies adjacent to Château Clarke. The abandoned vineyard was renovated between 1974 and 1978, its soils now yielding distinctive and harmonious wines that are mellow, fruity and expressive on the nose.

Bright and fresh on the nose with crushed cherry and berry character. The palate is medium bodied with firm and fine, velvety tannins and a flavorful finish. A blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon.
