Wine 1987 1er Cru Classé  Bordeaux Pauillac

The Mouton Rothschild 1987 label pays a final tribute to Baron Philippe de Rothschild. Produced by the Swiss painter Hans Erni, the work highlights the portrait of the Baron adorned with bunches of grapes and rams' horns, reminiscent of the emblem of Château Mouton Rothschild. This is how, through this painting, Hans Erni transforms his model into a true legend of wine.
Château Mouton Rothschild 1987 reveals notes of wax, fruits such as raspberry and cherry as well as aromas of undergrowth. This Premier Cru Classé is made from 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Cabernet Franc and 8% Merlot.

Jean-Marc Quarin April - 2002
Jean-Marc Quarin
The color remains beautiful. The nose has the "dead leaf" and cigar note of imperfectly ripened cabernet sauvignon. This recalls an older style of Bordeaux wines. On the palate, this wine focuses entirely on the attack where it immediately plays on smoothness. The body is good for a vintage considered very average, especially in the mid-palate. The pleasant surprise comes from the persistence of the structure which does not collapse in the second part of the palate, as in 92. The wine finishes with a pleasant and flavorful mellowness with a still perceptible tannin. Drink now.

Wine Spectator May - 1990

One of the top '87s we've tasted. This is a rich, thick, concentrated wine with layers of plum, currant, nutmeg and vanilla flavors and full tannins on the finish. A trace of mineral comes through.

At first the wine was sweet and soft, fully mature, but the flavors died quickly in the glass after just an hour. Tannins are weak as is the rest of the wine. It is a delicious red that is starting its decline.

Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate
The 1987 would appear to be a sure bet for the wine of the vintage. It remains the most complete and backward 1987 Medoc, with at least 10-15 years of aging potential. The touching dedication from the late Baron Philippe de Rothschild's daughter on the label should also be noted. 1987 was the last vintage produced by the Baron, and thus will probably fetch a fortune in 40 or 50 years. One of the deepest and most opaque wines of the vintage, with a tight, yet promising bouquet of cedar and blackcurrants, this wine exhibits surprising depth, medium to full body, and plenty of tannin in the finish. An amazingly powerful wine for the vintage, it is richer than the 1989 and 1990!

Falstaff December - 2006
Falstaff
Well-covered ruby garnet, violet reflections. In the nose damp bread, somewhat unclean spice, dried fruit, somewhat diffuse, on the palate fresh plum note, austere tannins, still lively, dry finish. 2006 from a magnum: Delicately leafy undertones, some cream and caramel. On the palate a delicate sweetness, reminiscent of plum compote, fine, rather discreet tannins, a rather delicate Mouton with ripe aromas in the aftertaste.

Château Mouton Rothschild

Château Mouton Rothschild is one of the most iconic wine estates in the world. Located in the Pauillac appellation, it is the only wine from the official 1855 Bordeaux classification to have been elevated to the rank of Premier Cru Classé in 1973, after having been initially classified as Second Cru.

Acquired in 1853 by Nathaniel de Rothschild, the estate then named Brane-Mouton became Château Mouton Rothschild and entered into legend under the impetus of Baron Philippe de Rothschild. A visionary, he profoundly modernized the vineyard, developed the cellars and imposed absolute quality standards, making Mouton one of the greatest wines of Bordeaux. His motto illustrates this unique ascension: "Premier je suis, second je fus, Mouton ne change".

The singularity of Mouton Rothschild is also expressed through its artistic labels, illustrated each year by renowned contemporary artists, reinforcing its cultural and heritage aura. This quest for excellence is also found in the other properties of the Rothschild family, notably Château Clerc Milon and Château d'Armailhac.

Among the most iconic vintages of Château Mouton Rothschild are:

Château Mouton Rothschild 1945, Château Mouton Rothschild 1946, Château Mouton Rothschild 1947, Château Mouton Rothschild 1982, Château Mouton Rothschild 1986, Château Mouton Rothschild 1989, Château Mouton Rothschild 1993, Château Mouton Rothschild 1995, Château Mouton Rothschild 1996, Château Mouton Rothschild 2000, Château Mouton Rothschild 2005
