Region : Bordeaux       Établissements Jean-Pierre Moueix, specialized in the fine wines of Bordeaux since 1937, today owns and distributes a number of notable Châteaux of the region. For 80 years, we have been committed to sourcing the finest fruit grown by local farmers to produce wines that are balanced, elegant and reflect the distinctive terroirs of this renowned region. Personally selected by Christian and Edouard Moueix, J E A N - P I E R R E M O U E I X BORDEAUX is composed of Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Grown on the clay, gravel and sand based soils of the Right Bank of Bordeaux, the Merlot grape offers depth and complexity, while Cabernet Franc brings structure and spice to the blend. Combi- ned, these varietals produce wines of character and body while maintaining a unique suppleness. Crafted to express the nuances of fruit and terroir of this storied appellation, the wine is then blended and aged in the historic Quai du Priourat cellars in Libourne, benefitting from all the care and expertise of the Jean-Pierre Moueix technical teams.       Grape varieties : Merlot & Cabernet Franc       Tasting notes :        JEAN-PIERRE MOUEIX BORDEAUX 2016 is a brilliant crimson red. The nose expresses subtle nuances of strawberry, licorice, spice and forest floor. On the palate the wine is supple with well integrated tannins. The long and fresh finish is dominated by red fruit notes.
