Château Cap de Mourlin Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé: The Excellence of a Millennial Wine

Price: Starting at €40 per bottle
Available Vintages: 2015, 2016, 2018
Appellation: Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé
Format: 75cl bottle

The Château Cap de Mourlin, located in the heart of the prestigious Saint-Émilion vineyard, is one of the jewels of Bordeaux's winemaking heritage. Classified as a Grand Cru for several decades, this family-owned estate covers 14 hectares and has been in the CapdeMourlin family for nearly four centuries. With absolute respect for both tradition and innovation, the estate has thrived through the ages, adapting to the modern demands of viticulture.

Under the management of Jacques CapdeMourlin since the late 1970s, significant renovation work has been undertaken, including a new vat room and a modernized cellar, allowing for better control of vinification and the production of wines with great precision.

Terroir and Varietals: A Wine from the Excellence of Saint-Émilion

The Château Cap de Mourlin is located on the slopes of the North Hill of Saint-Émilion, heading towards Montagne, on a clay-limestone terroir conducive to the production of complex and powerful wines. The estate is farmed using sustainable methods, with special attention paid to environmental preservation and soil health. Each plot is worked separately, allowing the best potential to be extracted from each grape variety.

Varietals:

65% Merlot: The king grape of Saint-Émilion, offering aromas of ripe red fruits and plum, with a velvety texture on the palate.
25% Cabernet Franc: Adds floral notes, finesse, and freshness to the blend.
10% Cabernet Sauvignon: Contributes to the tannic structure, depth, and aging potential of the wine.

The vines, with an average age of 34 years, produce concentrated grapes rich in aromas, enabling the creation of complex wines capable of aging for many years.

Tasting Notes: A Unique Sensory Experience

The Château Cap de Mourlin Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé delights wine lovers with its aromatic richness and balanced structure. This powerful and elegant wine reveals notes of black fruits, cherry, plum, and subtle wood tones from its aging in oak barrels.

Appearance: Deep red with garnet highlights.
Nose: Intense, dominated by aromas of black fruits, blackcurrant, with spicy nuances and hints of vanilla and oak.
Palate: Full-bodied and generous, with well-structured but silky tannins. A long, persistent finish, marked by a beautiful concentration of fruits and slightly smoky nuances.

Food Pairing: The Château Cap de Mourlin pairs wonderfully with grilled red meats, saucy dishes, and aged cheeses. It is an ideal companion for a beef fillet, roast lamb, or a selection of strong cheeses.

Vinification and Aging: Tradition and Modernity

Vinification at the Château Cap de Mourlin follows traditional methods while incorporating modern techniques to extract the essence of the fruit. Each batch is vinified separately in thermoregulated vats for optimal fermentation control.

Aging is carried out in French oak barrels for an average duration of 12 to 18 months. This process brings finesse and structure to the wine, while imparting delicate aromas of vanilla, toasted bread, and spices.

History and Family Heritage

The Château Cap de Mourlin is one of the historical wine estates of Saint-Émilion. The CapdeMourlin family, present in the region for over 400 years, is one of the oldest wine dynasties in Bordeaux. In addition to Château Cap de Mourlin, the family also owns two other Grands Crus Classés: Château Balestard la Tonnelle and Château Petit Faurie de Soutard.

This family heritage, combined with meticulous management and modern winemaking methods, has enabled Château Cap de Mourlin to maintain its Grand Cru Classé status and produce wines that perfectly express their terroir.
