Mouton Cadet Cuvée Héritage
2020
This fine red wine is rooted in three sun-drenched Bordeaux terroirs which reveal their rich and generous nature after blending, as well as a judicious balance between fruit, spice and oak.

Varietal mix
Tasting notes
Black-cherry red with a slight ruby hue.
Nose
After opening on a mixture of red and black fruit aromas such as redcurrant, cherry and blackberry, notes of nutmeg, toast and wild strawberry emerge with airing.
Palate
From a full and sweet attack, the succulent mid-palate expresses the black and red fruit found on the nose, while the beautifully rounded finish reveals a subtle touch of vanilla.
The people who make the wine
Thibaud and Guillaume Secret
Civrac-en-Médoc Mouton Cadet Cuvée Héritage and Réserve Mouton Cadet MédocThibaud and Guillaume Secret, brothers in their thirties full of life and ideas, are the driving force behind a winegrowing estate at Civrac-en-Médoc in the Médoc appellation. The third generation of winegrowers in the family, they have the strength of youth and an innovative mindset that generates an infectious energy. They are guided by their uncle and their father, each bringing their particular expertise, in a happy combination of tradition and innovation. Their 47-hectare estate is a testbed for their enthusiasm and innovative ideas. Everything they do, from tending their vines to making their wine, is guided by a constant quest for quality. The Secret brothers recently joined the Mouton Cadet winegrower community. Their wines are used in the Réserve and Héritage ranges.
Alain Mège
Générac Mouton Cadet Cuvée HéritageAlain Mège, a winegrower at Générac in the Côtes de Blaye appellation, likes to talk. For him, transmission – passing on skills, knowledge, terroirs – is crucial and has guided his life. One particular aspect of this legacy is dear to his heart: that of passing on grape varieties and the personality of vines, which are the true genetic heritage of our regions. Alain has put his beliefs into practice by also becoming a nurseryman. He clones grape varieties and works passionately to find the ideal pairing of grape variety and rootstock, seeking those best suited to different terroirs. He will even create tailored solutions to meet specific needs as precisely as possible. Since 2015, in the context of his partnership with Mouton Cadet, Alain has been lovingly tending his 20 hectares of Merlot under our winemakers’ watchful eye. Together they make characterful wines with powerful, carefully crafted tannins that bring structure to Mouton Cadet Cuvée Héritage.
