The famous Chateau Mouton Rothschild was promoted to a higher category in 1973 as the only chateau to date and joined the elite of the Premiers Grand Crus. The wines of Baroness Philipine de Rothschild are known for their changing label per harvest, each time with an image by a different artist. The character of the wine is characterized by red berries and cedar wood, with an expansion of more than 10% Merlot in the last decade. Château Mouton-Rothschild is world famous. It is located in Bordeaux in Pauillac, on the border with Saint-Estèphe. It is located next to another famous wine estate: Château Lafite-Rothschild. The wine estate covers 74 hectares and a lot of Cabernet Sauvignon, but also Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot are grown. Especially when fully ripe, the Mouton-Rothschild can be recognized by its bouquet, mainly pure Cabernet Sauvignon. The 2019 Mouton Rothschild is a blend of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot, harvested from September 18th to October 5th. Opaque purple-black in color, the 2019 Mouton Rothschild bursts forth even at this early stage, radiating from the glass with bright, vibrant aromas of crème de cassis, blueberry preserves, boysenberries and black raspberries plus fragrant suggestions of lilac, dark chocolate, sandalwood, jasmine tea and wood smoke with a spicy hint of star anise. The medium-bodied palate shimmers with energy, with tightly wrapped layers of black fruits, exotic spice and mineral notes, framed by exquisitely ripe, fine-grained tannins and bags of freshness, finishing with epic length and perfume. This vintage’s profound expression is without doubt a legend in the making. (For number crunchers, this year's alcohol is 13.5%, slightly lower than 2018's 13.8%.) This is a 1.5 liter magnum in OWC/1 FACT: The wine is in our conditioned Wine Warehouse and if you come to pick up the wine you will often also receive a nice discount.
