Producer: Château Mouton Rothschild, one of the five First Growths of Bordeaux, needs no introduction. Its iconic label and bold character have established it as a legend in the realm of fine wine.
Vineyard: Nestled on the "Plateau de Mouton," the estate's vineyard boasts prime gravelly soil and meticulous planting. Cabernet Sauvignon thrives here, forming the backbone of the blend (81%), complemented by Merlot (15%), Cabernet Franc (3%), and Petit Verdot (1%). The specific proportions vary with each vintage, showcasing the unique personality of each year.
Vintage: After a slow start, warmer temperatures and ample rain from February fueled a rapid and even bloom by May. Cool July with hot August days, followed by dry September with light rain, concentrated sugars and phenolics in the grapes, setting the stage for a promising vintage
Tasting notes: The wine has an evolved colour with a slightly orange, brickish tint at the rim and a deep and complex nose that offers an array of stewed fruit, black fruit, tobacco, spice (clove) and peppery aromas. The attack is fresh, on ripe fruit with an attractively mineral touch, while acidulated berry fruit on the palate complements a creamily smooth and precise tannic structure, leading into a pleasantly long and fruity finish. A wine full of generosity and freshness, typical of the vintage.
Label Art: 2000 Mouton Rothschild breaks tradition, ditching artist collaborations for a dazzling reproduction. The iconic ram—a silver-gilt vessel from the château's art museum—shimmers in gold enamel on the bottle, showcasing a new technique. This bold departure, joining past label rams in art deco and playful styles, stands as a tribute to heritage and a testament to innovation.
