"A really impressive performance from Mouton, thanks to careful selection and the exclusion of heat-affected Merlot from the plateau. This has some of Mouton's pomp and New World-style flavours, with flashy oak and ripe, textured fruit, but the underlying wine is very fine indeed, with fresh Cabernet Sauvignon notes bringing balance and poise. Finely judged, this is a mini triumph for Philippe Dhalluin and his team."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
The world's largest fine-wine region, built around blends of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Divided by the Gironde estuary into the structured Left Bank and the plush, Merlot-led Right Bank, it is the historic benchmark for age-worthy claret and sweet Sauternes.
Home to three of Bordeaux's five First Growths, Pauillac is the Left Bank benchmark for powerful, structured Cabernet Sauvignon. Its wines are famed for cassis, cedar and graphite notes and exceptional aging potential.
Chateau Mouton Rothschild is a First Growth estate in Pauillac, Bordeaux, elevated to First Growth status in 1973 and famous for its rich, exotic Cabernet-based wines and artist-designed labels.
