Chateau Mouton Rothschild

The wine presents a beautiful garnet hue with purple reflections. On the nose, it exudes a fresh yet powerful bouquet of fruity aromas, including small black fruits, alongside notes of pastry, chocolate, and confectionery. The palate opens with a broad, creamy attack, followed by a lively combination of powerful tannins and delightful flavors of graphite, roasted hazelnuts, and cocoa bean.

Chateau Mouton Rothschild 2023	96-99 Vinous The 2023 Mouton Rothschild is shaping up to be one of the best wines of the vintage on the Left Bank. Its balance of intense, super-concentrated fruit and equally imposing structure is spellbinding. Dark red-toned fruit, blood orange, spice, pencil shavings and dried herbs gain intensity in the glass. I especially admire its vertical build and overall energy. This is an exciting young Mouton endowed with palpable dynamic energy. It’s a superb effort from the team led by Technical Director Jean-Emmanuel Danjoy. 94-96 Wine Advocate Aromas of crème de cassis and dark berries mingled with pencil shaving, espresso roast and violets introduce the 2023 Mouton Rothschild, a medium to full-bodied, layered and fleshy wine with a creamy core of ripe but lively fruit, sweet tannins and an expansive finish. In terms of parcels, the 2023 is quite different in origins from the 2022, favoring plots that are better-drained rather than those resistant to drought. It’s a blend of 93% Cabernet Sauvignon and 7% Merlot, without either Cabernet Franc or Petit Verdot featuring in the blend, and it attained 13.3% alcohol. 98-99 James Suckling This is the most structured Mouton since the great 2016, with tannins that start slowly and then take off. It’s muscular and toned. It’s full-bodied but doesn’t come across too heavy. It builds up in intensity and goes on and on and on. It just keeps expanding. I took a double take here. 93% cabernet sauvignon and 7% merlot.	Bottle Image Label Image Shelf Talker Tech Sheet
