CHÂTEAU MOUTON ROTHSCHILD 1998

Wine 1998 1er Cru Classé  Bordeaux Pauillac

To create the Château Mouton Rothschild 1998 label, the managers chose to honor the work of Mexican Rufino TAMAYO who died a few years earlier. Initially, this original work was to adorn the label of the 1990 vintage, but fate decided otherwise. The painting reveals a “Brindis”, the man who toasts: a banal popular ritual that Tamayo transfigures, under a glowing sun, into a striking allegory of the pleasure of tasting.
Château Mouton Rothschild 1998 offers aromas of black fruit, blackcurrant, leather with mineral nuances. This Premier Cru Classé is made from 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc.

Composed of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc, the 1998 Mouton Rothschild is deep garnet-brick in color with lovely crème de cassis, dried roses, hoisin and baking spice notes with underlying notions of dried cherries and mulberries plus touches of wood smoke, incense and forest floor. Medium to full-bodied and packed with rich fruit framed by firm, chewy tannins, it is stacked with complex, evolving flavors and finishes with incredibly long-lasting perfumed notes. According to winemaker Philippe Dhalluin, this needs about three hours of decanting at this stage. I simply love the place this wine is in right now, possessing plenty of mature, tertiary characters yet still sporting bags of fruit. It won’t be fading anytime soon either and should cellar nicely for 20-25+ more years.

Impressed by Mouton in this under-rated vintage. A generous wine that is at its peak, revealing the flamboyant, ripe side of Mouton. Classic Pauillac cedar box, violet and cassis notes with a lingering finish.

Mouton Rothschild is arguably one of the best-known wine estates in the world. In AOC Pauillac, since 1973 it has been First Classified Growth in the official classification of Bordeaux wines of 1855.

Bought in 1853 by Nathaniel de Rothschild, Brane Mouton became legendary under the name of Château Mouton-Rothschild. It is with the advent of Baron Philippe de Rothschild that Mouton really becomes the monumental 1er Cru that it is today. Mouton Rothschild 1945 and 1982 are among their finest vintages. In addition to the construction of cellars and buildings, and the accession to Premier Cru status, it is the passion of a lifetime rediscovered in action by this exceptional man.

Classified as a Second Classified Growth in 1855, Château Mouton Rothschild has been a Premier Classified Growth since 1973. Its motto "First not then, second not deign, Mouton am" thus became "First I am, second I was, Mouton does not change".

The elegance and magic of this wine have thus charmed the greatest contemporary artists who, each year, illustrate with their art the priceless wines of Mouton by creating an original work on the label. Château D'Armailhac and Château Clerc Milon follow in the footsteps of this quality concern of the Rothschild family.

The great vintages of Château Mouton Rothschild are: 1994, 1989, 1986, 1985, 1983, 1982, 1970, 1966, 1962, 1961, 1959, 1955, 1953, 1949, 1947, 1945
