Mouton Rothschild
About Château Mouton Rothschild
A name which requires little introduction to even those with a passing interest in fine wine, Château Mouton Rothschild is perhaps most famous for being the sole property to ascend the precarious ladder of the 1855 Classification and gain promotion to the promised land of First Growth status.
Located one of the finest gravel beds in Pauillac, the Grand Plateau de Mouton, Mouton Rothschild is often differentiated from its appellation peers, Lafite Rothschild and Latour, as the most flamboyant and sensual of the trinity. There is an undeniable sense of joie-de-vivre surrounding this hallowed estate, extending to its famous labels designed by the world’s finest artists from Picasso to Warhol.
Even the winery, a vast and imposing shimmering white temple to the vinous arts was designed sv by the beloved Baroness Philippine de Rothschild to feel like a theatre with sweeping corridors and ram’s headlight fixtures.
One of only two Châteaux to remain in the hands of the same family since 1855, this estate has long been a figurehead for how Bordeaux is perceived around the world and how it conducts its business. The first producer in the region to bottle the entirety of its production itself, it is thought that the initially denied First Growth status was due to politics of ownership and certainly not as a result of quality nor renown.
The Mouton vineyard is older than most in Bordeaux, with vines averaging 50 years, and some going back over 100! It is one of the world’s truly ‘great’ wine estates.

James Suckling (95-96)This is a tighter and more compact Petit Mouton with a full-bodied, compact palate that is framed nicely by the tannins. Savory and juicy. Structured. Contained. 79% cabernet sauvignon, 12% merlot, 7% cabernet franc and 2% petit verdot. Better than 2022? |

Wine Spectator (89)One of the top '87s we've tasted. This is a rich, thick, concentrated wine with layers of plum, currant, nutmeg and vanilla flavors and full tannins on the finish. A trace of mineral comes through. Drink now. - |

LaRVF (95)Incroyable suavité et douceur unique du tanin pour le millésime. Un vin de rêve qui, avec Lafite, apparaît comme le sommet du millésime à Bordeaux. L'expérience montre qu'il va peu à peu perdre cette grâce pour ne la retrouver que dans trente ans, mais cette fois avec tout le prestige des arômes complexes de vieillissement. |

Jancis Robinson (18.5)Deep crimson. Firm, strongly cassis nose. Very voluptuous texture. Appetising and beautifully balanced. Obviously Médoc. Dried out a little on the end but the contrast between the flesh of this wine and skinniness of the Margaux tasted immediately beforehand could not have been more marked. It was still fresh and clean 24 hours afterwards but had lost a little density. |

The Wine Cellar Insider (100)Incredible in every sense of the word, this has everything you could want in a Pauillac and from Mouton Rothschild. Just as good, but different in style from the opulence found in the 2009, here you find incredible levels of intensity, density, richness, vibrancy and lift. The wall of fruit is perfectly ripe, expressing its purity along with crushed rocks, flowers, spice box, lead pencil, currants, cassis, blackberries, and Cuban cigars. The racy finish is seamless and crosses the 60-second mark with ease. This is not a wine for today. This is for the future. Your children can enjoy it at maturity. |

The Wine Independent (100)A blend of 83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot, 1% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Petit Verdot, the 2016 Mouton Rothschild has a pH of 3.62 and a very deep purple black color. It is very closed to begin, requiring a lot of swirling to unleash a powerful wall of crème de cassis, juicy black plums, and scents of boysenberries, followed by nuances of star anise, incense, violets, crushed rocks, and camphor, plus emerging iron ore and rose oil hints. The medium to full-bodied palate is densely packed with layer upon layer of black fruit preserves and perfumed floral and exotic spice accents, framed by beautifully ripe, plush tannins and seamless freshness, finishing with an epically long fruit and mineral firework display. Gorgeous! |

The Wine Independent (100)The 2019 Mouton Rothschild is a blend of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot, and 1% Petit Verdot. Deep garnet-purple colored, it races out of the glass with gregarious scents of creme de cassis, redcurrant jelly, black raspberries, and chocolate-covered cherries, giving way to a serious undercurrent of licorice, forest floor, candied violets, and cardamom with a touch of cast-iron pan. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is jam-packed with expressive red, black, and blue fruit layers, framed by fine-grained tannins and bold freshness, finishing with floral, exotic spices and a mineral firework display. |
