Mouton Rothschild

Product Info

Château Mouton Rothschild is a wine estate located in the village of Pauillac in the Médoc region, 50 km (30 mi) north-west of the city of Bordeaux, France. Originally known as Château Brane-Mouton, its red wine was renamed by Nathaniel de Rothschild in 1853 to Château Mouton Rothschild. In the 1920s it began the practice of bottling the harvest at the estate itself, rather than shipping the wine to merchants for bottling elsewhere. Château Mouton Rothschild is characterized by its deep, dark garnet color. The nose reveals aromas of ripe black fruits, including blackcurrant and aniseed, complemented by subtle notes of flint and cigar box. On the palate, the wine offers a smooth yet full-bodied attack with precise tannins, harmoniously balanced by minty and smoky nuances. The finish is exceptionally long, showcasing the nobility of the Cabernet Sauvignon grape.
