Chateau Mouton Rothschild 1er Cru Classe Pauillac
Description: Wonderfully rich and still holding back. Beautiful plum, toasted oak, berry and tobacco character. Firm with a full body. In 1855, when the original classification was made, it had to be satisfied with the top placing in the second crus. This was probably due to the fact that the property had been bought in a relatively neglected state by Baron Nathaniel de Rothschild two years before the classification took place. This meant he had no opportunity to make the estate and the vineyard respectable. Mouton was then no more than a farmhouse and it was not until 1880 that James Rothschild built the elegant dwelling now known as Petit-Mouton. The property continued in the family of Rothschild and Baron Philippe took over the running of the property in 1922. He was determined to raise Mouton to a premier grand cru. One of the first things that he did was to introduce mandatory chateau bottling (6 x 75 cl)
Price: £1076.36

Chateau Mouton Rothschild 1er Cru Classe Pauillac
Description: The wine label designed by Robert Wilson initially grabs the attention but once the bottle is opened it reveals a lovely, deep, garnet red colour and a nose which, though not yet fully open, reveals attractive fruit with airing, enfolded in the roast coffee, tobacco and spice notes of refined oak. Unctuous on the palate and amazingly supple, it mingles forward tannins, firm but mature, with consummately elegant flavours
