The 1995 Mouton Rothschild is a First Growth Bordeaux from the Pauillac appellation. Presented in a jeroboam format, this vintage displays a deep bouquet of ripe blackcurrants, complemented by an undercurrent of toasty oak. It is structured with medium to full body, exhibiting concentrated fruit character alongside powdery tannins. While revealing a long finish, the wine remains youthful, suggesting that significant complexity is yet to develop. This bottle is suitable for consumption now but may improve with further ageing until 2055.

The only one of today's First Growths that was in the same family hands in 1855 as today, with Baron Nathaniel de Rothschild arriving in 1853. The story becomes even more interesting because in 1855 Nathaniel could only complain (and he did) as Mouton was placed at the head of the Second Growths. Looking specifically at the wine in front of us here, generally these 1995s are more charming but less concentrated than the 1996s, and can be a real surprise. Showing waves of creamy black cherry, cinnamon, turmeric, tobacco and orange peel, this is understated and moreish, and was a quiet winner among the tasters.

The 1995 Mouton Rothschild was tasted from ex-château bottles, and I had not tasted this vintage for a number of years. This puts in a very good performance given that it was not an auspicious decade for the First Growth. A mélange of red and black fruit gradually gives way to cassis on the nose, lending it a rather ostentatious bouquet that was synonymous with Mouton at the time. The palate offers precocious black fruit fused with graphite and prominent cedar aromas. The finish is luscious, maybe too luscious for some, though personally I would be inclined to afford it more time in bottle. Not classy, but very seductive. Tasted at the Académie du Vin dinner in Bordeaux. Neal Martin17th June 2025

Wine as Art

The prestigious Château Mouton Rothschild estate is home to the world-renowned First Growth of the same name, in addition to a second red wine, Petit Mouton and a white wine, made in smaller quantities, known as L'Aile d'Argent. Established in 1853 by Baron Nathaniel de Rothschild, the Château pioneered the idea of bottling their own wine in the 1920s while other properties were still selling and exporting in barrel. A Second Growth until 1972, the winery was officially elevated to the high rank of Bordeaux classification in 1973 after much campaigning by the famous Baron Philippe de Rothschild.

Cabernet Sauvignon that takes pride of place in the wines of Mouton Rothschild, with smaller percentages of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Cabernet Sauvignon always predominates in the Mouton red, giving the wine its rich tannins, wealth of aroma, flavour and superb ageing capacity. Meanwhile Merlot, an inseparable companion, brings suppleness, roundness and exceptional length.
