Chateau Mouton Rothschild Premier Cru Classe Pauillac

Bordeaux

Pauillac

Deep garnet-purple colored. Needs a little shaking to wake up notes of kirsch, black cherries, and fresh black currant, giving way to nuances of garrigue, iris, and crushed rocks with a hint of lavender oil. The light to medium-bodied palate is wonderfully elegant and fresh with ripe, fine-grained tannins and well-sustained fruit, finishing on a lingering minerally note.

by Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW

Aroma av nydelig perfyme, mørke moreller, blyantspiss, vanilje, solbær, cigarbox, granitt, eik, kalkstein, kanel,

Utrolig layered og kompleks, fantastisk balanse, en lengde som aldri stopper, tilgjengelig nå, en stor vin

WSET 2

Inky damson colour, with vibrant violet reflections, velvet texture, aromatics less exuberant than the Petit Mouton, but the concentration and depth on the palate is absolutely there, with cocoa powder, grilled coffee bean, olive paste, cassis, bitter black chocolate on the finish as the tannins close in, ready for decades ahead. This walks the line, and is a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Clearly needs a long time before approaching, give it the full 10 years and then some. Harvest began September 1, earliest since 1893. 32hl/h yield. 3.89ph, 76IPT, 100% new oak. Harvest overall September 1 to 26. Jean-Emanuel Danjoy director. 49% of production in the Grand Vin, 27% Petit Mouton. 100% new barrels for ageing.

Inside Bordeaux

A blend of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, and 1% Cabernet Franc, the 2021 Mouton Rothschild has a deep garnet-purple color. It is very closed to start, slowly unfurling to reveal notes of ripe black plums, blackcurrant pastilles, licorice, and cedar chest, followed by hints of dark chocolate and iron ore, with a fragrant touch of violets. The medium-bodied palate is tight-knit, with great tension and ripe, fine-grained tannins framing the electrically charged black fruit and mineral flavors, finishing long and perfumed. It tingles on the palate!

Intense, concentrated, powerful, deeply spiced, fleshy but restrained, this inches open and feels vibrant, pure, chiselled, seamless, with an electric charge. Expect plenty of smoked and grilled cassis, bilberry and damson fruits, sandalwood and mint leaf. Has the 2020 signature where flavours are classically serious and balanced but intense, just a monumental Mouton with the freshness and architecture of 2016, edged with floral aromatics, wonderfully enticing and with presence. 100% new oak. First vintage for Jean-Emmanuel Danjoy as director, following Philippe Dhalluin's retirement. One of the wines of the vintage.

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.

The 2018 Mouton Rothschild is deep garnet-purple in color. It sashays out of the glass with vibrant scents of kirsch, juicy blackcurrants, and black raspberries, plus suggestions of lavender, cedar, and camphor, with a waft of roses. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has firm, grainy tannins and a lively backbone supporting the muscular fruit, finishing with a minty lift.

Rich and vibrant ruby in colour with violet reflections at 8 years old. This was a warm and generous vintage, and this stunning wine can trick you into believing that it is remarkably approachable already, until the supple but plentiful tannins begin their slow build through the palate. Ripe with blackberry and damson fruit, cocoa bean, toasted sandalwood and fragrant crushed rose aromatics, this takes the architecture and power of Pauillac and gives it lyrical depths. I would resist the tempation to open now, and allow the slow unroll of First Growth complexity to continue for another decade or so. 11% press wine, Philippe Dhalluin technical director, Eric Boissenot consultant. 100% new oak.

The 2014 Mouton Rothschild is deep garnet-brick in color. Notes of creme de cassis, cigar box, and forest floor open out to nuances of crushed rocks, new leather, and truffles. The medium-bodied palate delivers muscular black fruits and a firm frame of grainy tannins with seamless freshness, finishing long and layered.

Medium garnet in color, the 2013 Mouton Rothschild gallops out with energetic notes of blackcurrant jelly, kirsch, and prunes, leading to suggestions of wild fungi, dusty soil, and charcuterie. The mediuml-bodied palate is packed with black fruit layers, framed by amazing tension and fine, ripe tannins, finishing long and earthy. This is very nicely done!

Tender tannins, grilled cedar, gunsmoke and cigar box welcoming you in. The fruits are raspberry puree, black cherry layered with smoked caramel, rose petals and violet, spralling out of the glass, waves of flavour alongside crushed rock minerality. This is so well judged, showcasing how in the less 'perfect' vintages the First Growths really earn their stripes. Excellent quality, and as is signature with the vintage, will be ready earlier than the more concentrated years. Harvest October 1 to 15, with just under half of the overall production in the 1st wine. 100% new oak for ageing.

Også en enorm vinopplevelse. Dypt rød, klar, lett mursteinsrød i kanten. Intens nese av røde bær, kydder og tobakk. Mer mørke bær i munn. Jordtoner. Sjokolade, vanilje
Lang. Kompleks. Konsentrert, myke tanniner.

This is pure pleasure, with tiny pulses of electricity, brushed leather, sulphur, loam, truffle, blackberry, black cherry, with touches of silky tannins, smoked caramel and black chocolate. A wine that makes you smile, so much depth and power, barely out of its primary phase, but we are starting now to get the whole picture of what it will become. There is a lush edge to the tannins now that was not the case even two years ago. Such a different expression from the 2009 and 2010 Mouton, with this a little more old school in its charms, and for me you can now project yourself foraward, more like the 1986, a little dry and strict at first, but finessed and gorgeous, delivering grip, punch and magic. Eric Tourbier and Philippe Dhalluin on the technical team. 63% first wine, extremely low for the time (lowest since 1975, whereas today they are regularly below 50%). If you are going to open this anytime soon, think of it as a bottle to enjoy very slowly over four or five hours seeing the nuances develop. 100% new oak.

Amateur

Solbær, mørk plumme, tobakk, bladværk, grus, og tre. Nesen er rik, mørk fruktig og moden. Noe utviklet og krydret, men åpen og tilgjengelig. 
Smaken er ren og fruktig ved ankomst, tørr og fine tanniner som en noe ubalansert i midt til fine tanniner som er balansert med bær og tørket frukt i avslutning. 
76% cab, 14% merlot, 2% P Verdot.

WSET Diploma

The 2001 is an amazing vintage that has inched forwards over the past 20 years, still muscular although always more elegant in its tannic frame than the 2000 vintage before it. I served it out of magnum, and if wines of the year are about emotions, this definitely deserves to be among them. I was given this bottle back in 2011 when I won the Prix Baron Philippe de Rotshchild for my first book Bordeaux Legends, and I have kept it safely at home ever since. Honestly I should probably have waited another decade, as it was still young, but I had something special to celebrate, good friends coming over, and it seemed like the right moment. Definitely needs time in a carafe, but as it opened up, the creamy blackberry and cassis fruits began to show the traditional Mouton welcome, and coffee and woodsmoke curled out of the glass alongside grilled cedar and liqourice root. Patrick Léon technical director at the time.

En særegen krydder aroma, virker som man har nesen i en krydderblanding med alt mulig av godsaker. Påfølgende anis, umami, lakris, noe mynte, begynnende tobakk. 

Absolutt den beste vinen jeg har drukket, 99-100

En veldig ren og balansert Bordeaux - virker dirkkeklar, men med et godt videre langringspotensiale. Skogsbær, mintsjokolade. Lang. Pur frukt! 

Noe paprika, stikkelsbær, grønne urter og saftige syrlige bær. Fremstår fremdeles veldig fersk, lite lagringsaroma. Lang+

The only one of today's First Growths that was in the same family hands in 1855 as today, with Baron Nathaniel de Rothschild arriving in 1853. The story becomes even more interesting because in 1855 Nathaniel could only complain (and he did) as Mouton was placed at the head of the Second Growths. Looking specifically at the wine in front of us here, generally these 1995s are more charming but less concentrated than the 1996s, and can be a real surprise. Showing waves of creamy black cherry, cinnamon, turmeric, tobacco and orange peel, this is understated and moreish, and was a quiet winner among the tasters. Patrick Leon director, with the label by Catalan painter Antoni Tapies.

Fargen skulle ikke tilsi at det er snakk om årgang ‘93 her. Altså: åpenbart ikke en 2 år gammel pinot, men fortsatt ikke noen åpenbar oksidering mot murstein eller/og oransje kant. Likevell noe vannete kant. Gir jeg mening? Nei. Kan skylde på lyset. Noe bunnfall såklart, forsiktig dekantert vekk. 

Åpner fresht. Overraskende ungt. Modne moreller, søt cigar og tranebærjuice. Luft gir rom for tydelig sedertre, grafitt og tart cherry. Solbær fra hagen. Kompleks, lang, balansert, raffinert, konsentrert, fyldig, Digg. Stor D. Stor Vin. Ørlite meaty i munnen. Krydret med timian og laurbærblad. Off så godt…

Angrer ikke et sekund på at jeg tok en ekstravakt på jobb idag. Det er ikke hardt å være en hvit mann på treogtyve med navnet Henning på matmagasinet i tyvetyvefire. 

Herrejeremiah for en lengde, den vare langt forbi ramblinga og bablinga og oraldiaréinga mi om <3cl med vin. Freebird-solo-lengde. Tror kjelleren som 63-åring skal bli fin om kjellermesteren som 23-åring ordna fin vin som tåle tidens tann. 

91?-92

Smakte 90 og 92. 92 mye kjøligere og yngre i stilen enn 90 som gir mer av utviklet aroma som lær og tobakk. 

mye tertiære aromaer som sigarboks, sopp, blyantspiss, krydder. ekstremt lang smak, avrundede tanniner,.

Magnum: kjølig og stram årgang - presis solbærfrukt, tobakk, sigarboks - ren og vedefinert med støvete tanniner (93+)

Expert

Ruby red with a garnet rim. Lovely nose with violets, cassis, blueberries, eucalyptus, leather and minerals. Clean and pure. Fresh acidity. Leather, blueberries, cassis and mimerals. Detailed, velvety and delicate. Layered with new aromas every time. Powerful, but polished tannins. Very very long.

Drink from now until 2060?

How good can a wine get? Well, this is about as good as wine gets. The perfect score is 100/100p and I do not hand that out often.

I have tasted the 1986 Château Mouton Rothschild once before some years ago, and it is just as amazing now as it was them. If not better. Anyone else that likes a good Bordeaux wine or have you tasted Mouton Rothschild?

It still young (interesting for a wine that is 36 years young...) and need a few hours of decanting today.

Klassisk bdx nese, lover mye på nesen, fin syre men litt svak frukt. Litt hulere enn forventet i midten av smakskurven. Integrerte tannniner. Har nok vært bedre før denne flasken

perfekt moden - en studie i blyantaromaer, sigarboks, lær og kirsebær. Rund, polerte tanniner, balansert, frisk nok - høy fruktsødme - mangler intensiteten til 82, men gir mye drikkeglede (94)

Parker's first ever 100 point wine (along with Petrus 1982), this at first seemed to be softer through the mid palate than the other First Growths in the lineup, but once it opened up, the autumnal blackberry and bilberry fruits came tumbling into place, as did charred sandalwood, cigar box, campfire smoke, and waves of crushed rose petal aromatics. Showing full tertiary welcome, with melted tannins, and the gently finessed pleasures of fully mature Pauillac. I wouldn't count out the ability of this vintage to remain at this point for another few decades. The Mouton label in 1982 was painted by artist and film director John Huston to celebrate Baron Philippe de Rothschild's 60th harvest at the Pauillac First Growth (and the 10th vintage since its promotion to First Growth status). Harvest September 15-24, 100% new oak.

Bra fyllnivå og korken i overaskende bra tilstand. Noe frukt å spore, elegant, føles ren og fin. Holdt seg i live i flere timer etter åpning. God drikke, men ingen stor opplevelse. 

Bordeaux leverer her også. Den er noe flatere enn sine andre søsken fra Premier Grand Cru Classé klassifikasjonen vi drikker denne kvelden.

Fargen er mørk rød med brunlig kant og tradisjonelle noter fra Bordeaux på nesen. Lær, røde frukter og noe tobakk. Litt flat i smaksbildet, men komplett og flott slik det ofte blir fra en topprodusent.

Fortsatt god frukt med en god duft rett etter åpning. Falt rask etter ca 20 min i glasset. 
En fantastisk god vin

noe sliten og jordlig - plommete frukt (84)

Mursteinsrød med brunlig kant. På nesen; solbær, jordbær, appelsinskall, lær og noe litt jordlig. Avslipt tannin som er pent integrert. Fin syre. Lang. Artig at denne lever fremdeles selv om den antakeligvis har passert sitt høydepunkt. Elegant og litt slankere enn antatt. Stor vinopplevelse, første årgang hvor Mouton fikk stempel som førstevekst så historisk sus mangler vinen ikke.

WSET 1


Chateau Mouton 1972.
Røkt tørket kjøtt.
Holdt seg forbausende bra, selv om dette ikke er verdens beste vin.
Sømløs vin med frukt fortsatt intakt.
Bra lengde med pulveriserte tanniner.
Røksmaken særdeles fremtredende i ettersmaken også.
Utrolig kul vin å smake. 91p

Dyp rød murstein.
Dekantert,men drukket direkte etter dekantering
Ganske kraftig i aroma. Noe varm frukt med plomme,solbærtoddy krydder. Videre til seder,toast og noe floral.
Høy intensitet med høy syre men utrolig godt balansert.
Mye av det samme bildet på smak som aroma men i litt avslipt intensitet.
Flott vin med flott lengde.

Fin rødfarge med murstein og brunlig i kanten.
Ganske fremtreden kjeller i anslaget,men forsvant like fort. Over til seder,sigarboks,jordlig og noe mineraler. Overraskende pigg frukt med noe plomme og solbær. 
Flott konsentrasjon med helt helt avslipte og raffinerte tanniner. God lengde.
Nydelig vin som antagelig nærmer seg toppen hvis ikke den er der nå allerede.

This vintage came 12 years before Mouton Rothschild was promoted to First Growth in 1973, and it clearly shows that it was already more than equalling its future siblings. Still rich ruby in colour, a touch earthy on first aromatics but settles quickly in the glass, and as it opens it transforms into a gorgeous finessed glass with peony and crushed rose aroamtics, gentle cigar box, campfire, black truffle and sofly-spoken brambled fruits. Fine tannins remain engaged, and this wine still has plenty to say. The bottle that I had ex-cellar from Mouton at the end of 2023 was just a little more concentrated, so inevitably storage comes into play with bottles of this age, but it's a delighful. Baron Philippe de Rothschild at the helm, with a stunning black, red and gold label by Georges Mathieu.

Blyantkvess, cedertre, leire, svart te, meget pen og ren nese, på smak, medium tannin, modne og slør tannin, strukturert, høy konsentrasjon, deilig moden frukt, mot solbær. Svært lang. Intenst harmonisk.

strålende flaske, ren frukt, blyant, solbær, mint, delikat, fortsatt strukturert, men slipt ned og kantfri, meget lang

Jern, blod, solbærbusk, ikke like aromatisk imponerende som 49 Latour, touch soya, blåpreget frukt, modne tanniner, imponerende ungdommelighet, ikke kompleksiteten til Latour, som den burde ha.

Kjøpt på Systembolaget i 1971 og deretter lagret i en jordkjeller. Perfekt kork som satt limt til flaskehalsen. «Kjølig» stil når den smakes ved siden av Mouton 1982 - solbær og solbærbusk - delikat og sublimt balansert - silketanniner - imponerende ren fruktkvalitet - meget lang - sjelden frukten oppleves som fast i en 76 år gammel vin

Magnum: fra en perfekt norsk kjeller - strukturert som en røff 1986 - kjølig solbærfrukt - pen syre - meget intens - burde vært dekantert 2 timer (96+)
