Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: The dense ruby/purple-colored 2011 Mouton Rothschild (90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Franc) displays tell-tale notes of creme de cassis, vanillin and spicy oak, more tannin than many of the Pauillacs, and a solid, medium-bodied, concentrated, muscular Cabernet Sauvignon personality. Still tightly-knit and closed, but with lots of potential, it is a big, firmly structured Mouton that may turn out to be slightly austere. However, there are many reasons for optimism as well, so forget it for 7-8 years. It has 2-3 decades of aging potential. Only 54% of the production made the grade for Mouton Rothschild.

• Wine Spectator: This delivers a gorgeously pure beam of cassis and cherry compote, with singed apple wood, graphite and iron notes hanging in the background for now. Long and polished through the finish, showing serious depth in reserve.

Producer Information

Located in the village of Paulliac, Château Mouton Rothschild is a classified First Growth Bordeaux whose foundations in the market were laid by the late Baron Philippe de Rothschild in 1924. Although the first bottles of Chateau were introduced only in 1924, this winery has had a long history in winemaking since 1853. This beautiful estate which spans over 90 hectares of vines to the northwest of Bordeaux is planted with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. The current owner of the estate is Philippine de Rothschild, the grandchild of Baron Philippe.The wines of Château Mouton Rothschild truly need no introduction as they are widely recognized as one of the world’s greatest wines. The Chateau Mouton Rothschild vineyard is mostly situated in a hillock called the “Plateau de Mouton” which is made up of gravel, suitable for vine cultivation. The gentle slopes of the hills favor natural drainage and natural sunlight that allow the growth of the best vines on these hillocks. The vines of this land with the support of the natural land topography and climatic factors give the plants elegant, powerful, richly tannic, and long-lived wines.
