In this 2006, Mouton Rothschild displays an elegant complexity, where the ripe fruit of wild berries mingles with notes of blond tobacco and sandalwood. The structure is present but refined, offering a sensation of straight length and a remarkable hold that promise a beautiful evolution.

Jeb Dunnuck Tasting Note

I loved the 2006 Château Mouton Rothschild, a complex, nuanced, flawlessly balanced Mouton based on 87% Cabernet Sauvignon and 13% Merlot. Tobacco, cedarwood, lead pencil shavings, and both red and black fruits define the bouquet, and this is clearly in its prime drink window, with a terrific mix of ripe fruit and just developing secondary aromas. Full-bodied and concentrated, with sweet tannins, this elegant, layered, silky 2006 has another 20 years of prime drinking. The label comes from the famed English portrait painter Lucien Freud (1922-2011).

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.
