The portfolio comprises two Saint-Emilion grand cru classés – Château Balestard La Tonnelle (the flagship property of the group) and the eponymous Château Cap de Mourlin – as well as Château Roudier in Montagne-Saint-Emilion. Château Balestard La Tonnelle has a history dating back to the 15th Century. The estate covers 10.6 hectares (26.1 acres) on a classic clay-limestone slope just one kilometer (0.6 miles) northeast of Saint-Emilion town, just north of Château Sansonnet and south of Petit Faurie de Soutard (a former holding of the Capdemourlin group). The estate is planted to 70 percent Merlot , 25 percent Cabernet Franc, and five percent Cabernet Sauvignon. Wines are fermented in stainless steel and concrete cuves, and aged in French oak barriques of which half are new oak. The historic family estate, Château Cap de Mourlin, had been divided up between family members but was bought together by current owner Jacques Capdemourlin in the early 1980s. It lies 1.5km (0.9 miles) north of Saint-Emilion town, neighboring Château Larmande and Château Grand Faurie La Rose. The Cap de Mourlin estate spans 14 hectares (35 acres) on a very gentle northern slope of clay-limestone, sand, and siliceous clay. It is planted to 65 percent Merlot, 25 percent Cabernet Franc and 10 percent Cabernet Sauvignon. Wines are fermented in stainless steel tanks and the oak aging regime is similar to that of Balestard La Tonnelle. Around 70,000 bottles are produced annually Like Balestard La Tonnelle, Cap de Mourlin figured in the original Saint-Emilion classification of 1955 and both have retained their grand cru classé status to the present. The third estate in the portfolio, Château Roudier lies just over one kilometer southeast of the vilage of Montagne in the Montagne-Saint-Emilion appellation. The 19th Century estate is also only four kilometers (2.4 miles) northeast of Château Cap de Mourlin, with 30 hectares (75 acres) of vineyard on a gentle southeast-facing slope. Roudier's vines have a similar varietal breakdown to the other Capdemourlin holdings with 65 percent Merlot, 25 percent Cabernet Franc, and 10 percent Cabernet Sauvignon. All the wines are overseen by enologist Jean-Philippe Fort of the winemaking consultancy firm Rolland et Associés (founded by renowned consultant winemaker Michel Rolland). Another Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Classé, Château Petit Faurie de Soutard, had been part of the Capdemourlin portfolio since 1978. The estate was bought from Vignobles Capdemourlin by La Mondiale Grands Crus, the owners of neighboring Château Soutard, in 2017.\u003cbr\u003e","published_at":"2023-07-24T17:26:05-04:00","created_at":"2023-07-20T15:11:23-04:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_France","NK2007","Other_Wine","Producer_Vignobles Capdemourlin","Region_Bordeaux","Source_Hedonism0723","Type_Red Wine","Varietal_Bordeaux Blend Red"],"price":35800,"price_min":35800,"price_max":35800,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":43044642816138,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"2012 | Vignobles Capdemourlin | Chateau Cap de Mourlin","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":35800,"weight":12247,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/7_e728cb75-078f-42af-8cbd-207e6f54bdb1.jpg?v=1689880358"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/7_e728cb75-078f-42af-8cbd-207e6f54bdb1.jpg?v=1689880358","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"2012 | Vignobles Capdemourlin | Chateau Cap de Mourlin at CaskCartel.com","id":24823456956554,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.6,"height":1000,"width":600,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/7_e728cb75-078f-42af-8cbd-207e6f54bdb1.jpg?v=1689880358"},"aspect_ratio":0.6,"height":1000,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/7_e728cb75-078f-42af-8cbd-207e6f54bdb1.jpg?v=1689880358","width":600}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eRed Wine: 2012 | Vignobles Capdemourlin | Chateau Cap de Mourlin\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a deep, dark ruby red wine with aromas of blackberries, plums, and cedar.
