Chateau Mouton Baronne Philippe, 1985
Red
750ml
Label : Slightly Damaged Label
Level : Very Top Shoulder Level
🏰【A classic Pauillac from a strong vintage, representing the historical legacy of what is now Chateau Clerc Milon, offering a glimpse into its elegant past.】 The 1985 vintage in Bordeaux was widely considered excellent, producing charming, ripe, and well-balanced wines that were enjoyable relatively early but also capable of aging. Chateau Mouton Baronne Philippe was the former name of Chateau Clerc Milon, a 5ème Cru Classé estate in Pauillac. This wine would offer a mature expression of Pauillac, with notes of blackcurrant, cedar, tobacco, and a hint of graphite, a medium-bodied palate with softened tannins, and a graceful, persistent finish.
🍴 This mature Pauillac is wonderful with roasted duck, beef tenderloin, or a rich mushroom gratin.
🥂 Perfect for a sophisticated dinner, a special occasion, or a historical tasting for Bordeaux enthusiasts.
