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.

Jeb Dunnuck (100)I think the 2005 Château Mouton Rothschild is pure perfection, and is has a ripe, powerful, yet weightless style not far off the 1982. A blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc brought up in new barrels, it’s just now starting to enter its adolescence phase and has sensational notes of ripe black fruits, smoky, scorched earth, pipe tobacco, and chocolate. Massively rich and opulent on the palate, with building yet sweet tannins and no hard edges, it’s one of those wines that needs to be tasted to be believed. Drink bottles any time over the coming 40+ years. |

Wine Spectator (100)Gorgeous aromas of currant, raspberry and mineral. Full-bodied, with ultrafine tannins. Long and caressing, building on the palate. Very pretty, very elegant. Subtle and seductive. This could be better than 2005. Wait and see. Score range: 95-100 |

Wine Enthusiast (95)The wood element is important here, but it is based on a firm Cabernet Sauvignon structure, dry but rich tannins. The wine is a great success for the vintage, giving sweetness, ripe fruit that only shows light extraction, and dark plum and berry flavors. The feeling is of polished fruit and wood, rounded but always dense. |

Mouton Rothschild is proud of its reputation as the most flamboyant of the 1st growths. The 2008 is full bodied, dense and lavish. It has a defined powerful nose and a rounded expressive palate with dark berries, figs and cedar. Its firm tannins hold on the long finish.

Jeb Dunnuck (100)Pure perfection, and reminding me slightly of the 1982, the 2009 Château Mouton Rothschild boasts an opaque ruby hue as well as an incredibly perfumed, sexy, seductive style in its ripe currant and cassis fruits as well as new saddle leather, spicy oak, smoke tobacco, and graphite-driven aromas and flavors. Complex, full-bodied, and beautifully concentrated, with sweet tannins, this masterpiece is already impossible to resist yet won't hit full maturity for another decade and will evolve for 50-60 years if well stored. |

Wine Spectator (95)This delivers a gorgeously pure beam of cassis and cherry compote, with singed apple wood, graphite and iron notes hanging in the background for now. Long and polished through the finish, showing serious depth in reserve. Best from 2018 through 2035. -JM |

Wine Enthusiast (97)#23 in top 100 wines of 2015 This is a beautifully opulent wine, great Mouton in its richness and succulent fruits. It's combines structure and obvious new-wood aging with hugely ripe black plum and currant flavors. While it is a pleasure to taste now, there is a great tannic structure in the background to give the sense of power and aging potential. Drink from 2024. |
