Cellar Tracker

(06-2015) Surprisingly good at this age. Mostly tobacco on the nose. Fruits are gone but there is still some kind of substance here.

Its nose was light with some windex, cardboard, cinnamon and light strawberry. It was clearly weaker but ok. It is called ‘a horrible vintage’. It wasn’t horrible, despite being light and simpler. It was a 15 minute wine, for sure but I enjoyed its citrus and tangerine flavors.

Château informations

Mouton Rothschild

The Château Mouton Rothschild is one of the most prestigious wine in Bordeaux. Since 1973, it is a first classified growth in Médoc classification of 1855.

Purchased in 1853 by Nathaniel de Rothschild, Brane Mouton became a legend under the name of Mouton-Rothschild. With the advent of Baron Philippe de Rothschild Chateau Mouton Rothschild became the truly monumental 1er Cru it is today. In addition to the construction of cellars and buildings, and the ascension to 1er Cru status, it is the passion of a lifetime manifested in action by this remarkable man. Ranked Second Cru in 1855, it is now, since 1973, a premier cru classe. His motto became "First I am, second I was, Mouton does not change." The elegance and magic of this wine has charmed the most important contemporary artists who each year, illustrate their an original work of art on the label of Chateau Mouton Rothschild. Chateau D'Armailhac and Chateau Clerc Milon followed suit in the quality of the Rothschild family.
