Vinous Tasting Note

Bright, full ruby. Brooding aromas of dark berry liqueur, espresso and mocha; strong torrefaction notes. Then dense, minerally and consistent, with flavors of roasted plum and chocolatey oak. Wonderfully ripe and deep. Finishes with broad, chewy tannins that reach the incisors. A superb vintage for Mouton. One of the few Northern Medoc wines I tasted to have lower acidity in 2002 than in 2003, and one of the great successes of the vintage.

About the Producer

A First Classified Growth, Château Mouton Rothschild spans 82 hectares (202 acres) of vines at Pauillac in the Médoc, at the heart of which lie two plateaux of deep gravel: the Mouton plateau and the Carruhades plateau. The vineyard is planted with the classic varieties of the region: Cabernet Sauvignon (79%), Merlot (17%), Cabernet Franc (3%) and Petit Verdot (1%). The unique and exceptional soil at Château Mouton Rothschild creates an ideal terroir for great Cabernets.  

The estate benefits from exceptionally favourable natural conditions, in the quality of the soil, the position of its vines and their exposure to the sun. Combining respect for tradition with the latest technology, it receives meticulous attention from grape to bottle. The wine is matured in new French oak barrels.

Château Mouton Rothschild is an opulent and stylish wine, big without being overwhelming, remarkable for its powerful yet refined, silky tannins and a highly precise expression of its identity.
