Bordeaux Château Haut Mouleyres 1999
Produced under the Appellation Bordeaux Contrôlée, this 1999 vintage from Château Haut Mouleyres represents the broad, traditional wine style of southwestern France. The overarching Bordeaux classification covers the entire geographic area of the famous region, which has been exporting wine since the Middle Ages. The 1999 vintage from this area achieved a score of 88 points and is noted as being elegant and ready to drink.
The Bordeaux region benefits from a maritime climate, heavily influenced by the Atlantic Ocean alongside the temperature-regulating Gironde estuary, Garonne, and Dordogne rivers. Its highly varied terroir spans gravel, clay, limestone, and sand. This geological and microclimatic diversity provides the foundation for the region's classic blends. While the Left Bank of the Gironde is traditionally dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon grown on gravel, the Right Bank is the primary domain of Merlot and Cabernet Franc.
Bottled by L. Métairie S.A., this wine was recognized shortly after its release, earning a Bronze Medal at the Concours de Bordeaux Vins d'Aquitaine in 2000, as well as a Bronze Medal in Paris the same year. It is bottled at 12% alcohol by volume.
