Côtes de Bourg Domaine du Moulin de Mendoce 1990
The 1990 Domaine du Moulin de Mendoce is a red wine from the renowned Bordeaux region in France. Produced in a vintage that achieved a score of 97 points, the year is characterized by great ripeness and balance. The wine is classified under the Appellation Côtes de Bourg Contrôlée and was bottled directly at the estate.
Bordeaux, situated along the Atlantic coast, has been exporting wine since the Middle Ages and remains one of the most famous wine-producing areas in the world. The Côtes de Bourg appellation, which gained its official status in 1936, is recognized as one of the oldest wine regions in Bordeaux. It is located on the right bank of the Gironde estuary at the mouth of the Dordogne and Garonne rivers, directly opposite Margaux. The Domaine du Moulin de Mendoce estate spans 23 hectares and is positioned on a hill high above the river near the village of Villeneuve, approximately 45 kilometers northeast of the city of Bordeaux.
The vineyards in this area benefit from well-draining soils composed of a mixture of gravel, alluvium, clay, and limestone. The estate's plantings consist of equal parts Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon. Merlot, a classic blue grape, is a staple of the right bank of Bordeaux and is also widely cultivated in regions such as California, Washington, and Northern Italy. Together with the Cabernet varieties, it forms the foundation of the traditional Bordeaux blend produced at this historic property.
