Description
The famous Chateau Mouton Rothschild was promoted to a higher category in 1973 as the only chateau to date and joined the elite of the Premiers Grand Crus. The wines of Baroness Philipine de Rothschild are known for their changing label per harvest, each time with an image by a different artist. The character of the wine is characterized by red berries and cedar wood, with an expansion of more than 10% Merlot in the last decade. Château Mouton-Rothschild is world famous. It is located in Bordeaux in Pauillac, on the border with Saint-Estèphe. It is located next to another famous wine estate: Château Lafite-Rothschild. The wine estate covers 74 hectares and a lot of Cabernet Sauvignon, but also Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot are grown. Especially when fully ripe, the Mouton-Rothschild can be recognized by its bouquet, mainly pure Cabernet Sauvignon.
The 2019 Mouton Rothschild is a blend of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot, harvested from September 18th to October 5th. Opaque purple-black in color, the 2019 Mouton Rothschild bursts forth even at this early stage, radiating from the glass with bright, vibrant aromas of crème de cassis, blueberry preserves, boysenberries and black raspberries plus fragrant suggestions of lilac, dark chocolate, sandalwood, jasmine tea and wood smoke with a spicy hint of star anise. The medium-bodied palate shimmers with energy, with tightly wrapped layers of black fruits, exotic spice and mineral notes, framed by exquisitely ripe, fine-grained tannins and bags of freshness, finishing with epic length and perfume. This vintage’s profound expression is without doubt a legend in the making. (For number crunchers, this year's alcohol is 13.5%, slightly lower than 2018's 13.8%.)
This is a 1.5 liter magnum in OWC/1
FACT: The wine is in our conditioned Wine Warehouse and if you come to pick up the wine you will often also receive a nice discount.

2019 Bordeaux Primeurs Flash Review 3, The Wine Advocate
The blend this year is 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot, harvested from the 18th of September to the 5th of October. Opaque purple-black colored, the 2019 Mouton Rothschild simply shines, even at this very nascent stage, beaming from the glass with bright, vibrant scents of crème de cassis, blueberry preserves, boysenberries and black raspberries plus fragrant suggestions of lilacs, dark chocolate, sandalwood, jasmine tea and woodsmoke with a spicy waft of star anise. The medium-bodied palate shimmers with energy, featuring tightly wound layers of black fruits, exotic spices and mineral notions, framed by exquisitely ripe, fine-grained tannins and bags of freshness, finishing with epic length and perfume. This year's profound expression is without doubt a legend in the making. (For number crunchers, the alcohol is 13.5% this year, slightly lower than 2018, which came in at 13.8%.)
“The grand vin has 90% Cabernet Sauvignon this year—among the highest percentages of Cabernet Sauvignon ever used—with less Merlot, just 9% Merlot,” technical director Philippe Dhalluin told me. “The Merlot was very good, maybe the best since 2010, but the Cabernet Sauvignon was just too good. We build the blends of Mouton and Petit Mouton together. This year they are very different styles. Generally, Petit Mouton comes from the border of this plot of excellence we use for the Mouton. But this year is different—more of this good Merlot. The biggest difference in the styles is the tannins, Petit Mouton’s are usually not as refined. The plateau of Carruades gives such an excellent style of tannins to Mouton!”
Mouton’s grand vin is unquestionably one of the wine’s of the vintage, but I was surprised by the high quality of the estate’s dry white wine. Usually, great red wine years do not make such impressive whites. “Aile d’Argent for us was such a great surprise this year,” Dhalluin agreed with me. “In the end, the Semillon was such excellent quality. There’s a hint of exotic Muscat character in there. Really, it is an excellent vintage for this wine too—usually, odd vintages produce exceptional characters in Aile d’Argent!”

In 1853, Baron Nathaniel de Rothschild buys the Château Brane-Mouton estate at auction because he wants to serve his own wine to his prestigious guests. The estate was located in Pauillac, in the heart of the Médoc, and would henceforth bear his name: Château Mouton Rothschild. In 1922, the estate came into the hands of Baron Philippe de Rothschild, the great-grandson of Baron Nathaniel. 2 years later, he insists that all wine, which until then had been delivered in barrels to wine merchants in Bordeaux, be bottled in the castle. This decision meant that more storage space was needed. That is why the spectacular 100-meter Grand Chai (Great Barrel Hall), designed by the architect Charles Siclis, was built in 1926. In 1962 a museum was even opened on the estate. It was thus officially confirmed after a decree signed by Jacques Chirac, then Minister of Agriculture. Philippe's daughter, Baroness Philippine de Rothschild, has taken over her father's estate and over the years has continued to modernize this beautiful family business. She has passed on her excellent dedication and working method to her 3 children, Camille Sereys de Rothschild, Philippe Sereys de Rothschild and Julien de Beaumarchais, who continue to manage the estates with the same ambition. This producer has 90 hectares of vineyard and was led by his daughter Baroness Philippine de Rothschild years after the death of her father Philippe. After the death of Philippine in 2014, son Philippe Sereys de Rothschild is ultimately responsible and the companies (in addition to Mouton, including Château Clerc Milon, Château d'Armailhac, Mouton Cadet, Opus One and Almaviva) are managed together with sister Camille and half-brother Julien. Second wine is called Petit Mouton and they produce a white wine called Aile d'Argent.
The vineyards of Château Mouton Rothschild are located northwest of Bordeaux, on the edge of the Medoc. The vines are planted on a narrow strip of land 80 km long and 5 to 10 km wide, close to the river, which moderates temperature differences. Bordering the northern border of the Landes forest, the Medoc benefits from the softness of its maritime climate while being protected at the same time. In 1855, the best 61 wines from the Haut-Médoc were qualified as 'Grand Cru Classé', again subdivided into 1st to 5th Cru. The selection was based on the prices paid for the wines since about 1750. The 1st cru includes Château Lafite, Latour, Margaux, and Haut-Brion. In 1973, Château Mouton was added to these four.
Pauillac is located on the Gironde, north west of the city of Bordeaux. Pauillac (which holds 1,200ha) is one of the best wine regions in the Haut-Médoc and is located below Saint-Estèphe. The village has 3 Premier Grands Cru Classés: Château Latour, Château Lafite Rothschild and Château Mouton Rothschild. A total of 18 Grand Cru Classés from Pauillac account for 80% of the vineyard area. The upper layer of this wine region consists of gravel, with a subsoil of clay and limestone.
