The wine has a lovely colour, dark and deep with cherry highlights. The elegant nose combines refined oak, toast and vanilla with intense bilberry and raspberry fruit. Touches of mint and spice round off the panoply of aromas, bringing freshness and complexity. Powerful yet silky on the palate, it displays densely-textured, well-rounded, supremely patrician tannins. The very long, complete and beautifully balanced finish, typical of rich, ripe Cabernet Sauvignon, is entirely in the tradition of the great Pauillac vintages. Overall, a wine as elegant as it is promising

A Premier Cru Classé, Château Mouton Rothschild comprises just under 210 acres of vines at Pauillac in the Médoc, planted with the varieties typical of the region: Cabernet Sauvignon (77%), Cabernet Franc (12%), Merlot (9%) and Petit Verdot (2%). This First Growth benefits from exceptionally favourable natural conditions, in the quality of the soil, the position of its vines and their exposure to the sun. Combining a respect for tradition with the latest techniques, it receives meticulous attention from grape to bottle from highly skilled winemakers and vinegrowers responsible for each parcel of the estate.
