Chateau Mouton Rothschild 2021, 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. This wine is a blend of 89%, 10% Merlot and 1% Cabernet Franc.

Tasting Notes:

Inky depths to the colour, with sweetened black cherry, damson and cassis fruit, and clear crushed rose petals, along with grilled rosemary, espresso, cocoa and sage. Supplies a generosity that is often lacking in the vintage, this stays bang on Mouton character and signature and even though in more classic style of the vintage, it is full of beauty. – Score 95 – Jane Anson, JaneAnson.com, January 2024

Serving Suggestions:

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