    In a few words ...

    The famous Château Mouton Rothschild is undeniably one of the greatest Bordeaux wines. It is the only estate to have had its classification revised in 1973, after a real struggle: from 2nd Cru Classé, it rose to the ultimate rank of 1st. J. Suckling : 100/100

    It possesses its "Mouton" character, with fatness and a seductive, yet profound side. Above all, it has gained considerably in precision. Superb texture and finish.

    Tasting notes

    Appearance

    Dense, dark garnet color, drawing on purple in its youth.

    Aroma

    The bouquet consists of black and red fruits, roasting, licorice and leather.

    Wine Empyreumatic | Fruity | Spicy

    Taste

    The Pauillacs are vigorous and tannic, which softens with age which allows the tannins to melt and give a nice and round structure.
