Chateau Mouton Rothschild Pauillac 2019, 6 x 75cl

After years of dedicated investment, the Rothschild family saw their 75 hectare vineyard located just north of Pauillac upgraded to First Growth status - the most prestigious Bordeaux wine classification of which only 5 wines are ranked. Arguably most famous for the exclusively designed labels, created by artists such as Salvador Dali, Pablo Picasso and even (then known as) Prince Charles.

Tasting Notes:

“Takes the character of Petit Mouton and turns it up. Has layers of black cherries dipped in bitter chocolate and coffee with turbo powered tannins and lift. Freshly crushed mint leaf on the finish. A ton of depth, not as creamy as the 2018 Mouton was at this stage, this is more espresso than cappuccino, with layers of vertical tannins that are generous but in control, not willing to give too much away, and it will close down for a good few years. A great Mouton, pure, precise, linear, tight and vertical, making you wait for the kirsch laden opulence but absolutely delivering on its En Primeur promise. Harvest September 18 to October 5. 100% new oak.” Score: 98 - Jane Anson, JaneAnson.com, October 2021

Serving Suggestions:

Pairs well with all types of classic meat dishes: veal, pork, lamb and beef.
