    In a few words ...

    The famous Château Mouton Rothschild is undeniably one of the greatest Bordeaux wines. It is the only estate to have had its classification revised in 1973, after a real struggle: from 2nd Cru Classé, it rose to the ultimate rank of 1st. J. Suckling : 100/100

    Tasting notes

    Appearance

    Dense, dark garnet color, drawing on purple in its youth.

    Aroma

    The bouquet consists of black and red fruits, roasting, licorice and leather.

    Wine Empyreumatic | Fruity | Spicy

    Taste

    The Pauillacs are vigorous and tannic, which softens with age which allows the tannins to melt and give a nice and round structure.
