Description

An icon that is known by all for its artist-designed labels, Château Mouton-Rothschild creates an extremely fine wine for ageing with astounding complexity and density. When tasting the wine, its aromas swing from touches of well-ripened black fruits and berries to notes of liquorice, tobacco, fine wood and truffle.

With time, the tannins become just like delicate velvet. To produce its wines, the property follows traditional vinification methods (grapes fermenting in barrels for two to three weeks) before ageing them in barrels (70% new wood) for between 12 to 15 months.

The 2024 Blend: 93% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Merlot.

Le Figaro Vin tasting note:“Harvested between September 23 and October 5, the 2024 Mouton Rothschild is a blend of 93% Cabernet Sauvignon and 7% Merlot that attained 12.9% alcohol. Offering up aromas of crème de cassis, cigar wrapper and pencil shavings, it’s medium to full-bodied, dense and layered, with a muscular, monolithic style built around austere, chalky tannins. Somewhat reminiscent of the estate’s 2001 vintage (which is just coming around today at age 24), this structured, youthfully angular Mouton will require patience. “
