Jancis Robinson June - 2015

A bottle that had been decanted 12 hours previously and, although there was the tiniest suggestion it has not been freshly opened, was absolutely stonking. So rich, sweet and concentrated yet with no dryness at all. Absolutely luscious. So rich, sweet and round – and actually livelier than the 1959 served alongside that had been decanted only a couple of hours before.

Huge, cedary, cassis, lead pencil, menthol-like aromas soared from the glass. The blackpurple color revealed no signs of lightening or amber at the edge. Full-bodied, rich, and super-intense, this was an a profound bottle of 1961 Mouton that would have stood up against the compelling 1959. I have found the 1961 Mouton-Rothschild to be distressingly variable in quality, much like the consistently inconsistent 1970. At its best the wine is a great Mouton.

Mature, lovely, fragrant, spicy bouquet and flavour. Drier and crisper than the fully developed 1959.

Château Mouton Rothschild

Mouton Rothschild is undoubtedly one of the most famous wine estates in the world. In the Pauillac AOC, it has been a First Growth in the official 1855 Bordeaux wine classification since 1973.

Purchased in 1853 by Nathaniel de Rothschild, Brane Mouton entered into legend under the name Château Mouton-Rothschild. It was with the advent of Baron Philippe de Rothschild that Mouton truly became the monumental 1st Growth that it is today. Mouton Rothschild 1945 and 1982 are among their finest vintages. Beyond the construction of cellars and buildings, and the accession to First Growth status, it is the passion of a lifetime rediscovered in action by this exceptional man.

Classified as a Second Growth in 1855, Château Mouton Rothschild has been a First Growth since 1973. Its motto "First I cannot be, second I do not deign to be, Mouton I am" has thus become "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 Mouton's priceless wines with their art by creating an original work on the label. Château D'Armailhac and Château Clerc Milon follow in the footsteps of this qualitative 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
