In 2013, Mouton Rothschild displays a singular finesse, a remarkably held structure despite the challenges of the vintage. Black cherry and sweet pepper harmonize with touches of noble undergrowth, on a silky texture that reveals a surprising balance. This wine, already imbued with a beautiful evolution, shows itself capable of continuing its aging with elegance.

Wine Advocate Tasting Note

The 2013 Mouton-Rothschild has a conservative, straight-laced, tobacco-stained bouquet, nicely defined but lacking genuine depth. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannin, balanced with tobacco and red berry fruit, moderate depth with touches of dried herbs lining the finish. I can imagine this becoming approachable within a couple of years and yet the pedigree of the terroir percolates through with aeration. While not a great Mouton-Rothschild by any stretch of the imagination, this is a strong effort in a difficult vintage.

About the Producer

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.
