Château Mouton Rothschild 2021 is a full-bodied, Cabernet Sauvignon-based red wine from the Margaux appellation of Bordeaux. The 2021 Mouton Rothschild is a blend composed of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, and 1% Cabernet Franc, harvested from September 25th to October 6th and matured in 100% new oak barrels. Displaying a deep and captivating purple-black hue, the wine reveals its charms with a gentle swirl, unveiling classic aromas of warm cassis, pencil shavings, and ripe black plums, complemented by delicate notes of lavender, cracked black pepper, and crushed rocks. On the palate, it showcases a light to medium-bodied structure, tightly wound with layers of black fruits and subtle mineral accents, beautifully framed by fine-grained tannins and a delightful sense of freshness. Here presented in stately double-magnum format.
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.
