However, Cabernet Sauvignon always predominates: it is Cabernet Sauvignon that gives Mouton its rich tannins, its wealth of aroma and flavour and its ageing capacity, while Merlot, an inseparable companion, brings suppleness, roundness and exceptional length. As with other top Médoc wines, the vineyard is densely planted – 10,000 vines per hectare – and the average age of the vines is around 44 years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Harvest\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe grapes are hand-picked and placed in open baskets that keep them intact. After destemming, they are hand-sorted on vibrating tables. Those that pass this rigorous test are transferred into mobile bins and fed into the fermentation vats by the action of gravity alone. Thus, from vine to vat, the fruit is not subject to any non-natural pressure or constraint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Chateau Mouton Rothschild","offers":[{"title":"750 mL","offer_id":43716618453184,"sku":"CMR-B21-750","price":545.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3-Pack OWC 750 mL","offer_id":43062451699904,"sku":"CMR-B21-753","price":1895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/4310\/4704\/files\/2021moutonrothschild_8b15f43d-b204-427d-9681-3dc6edce7d0e.jpg?v=1704377060","url":"https:\/\/angrywinemerchant.com\/products\/chateau-mouton-rothschild-2021","provider":"Angry Wine Merchant","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
