"Harry Waugh, before I joined him at Harvey's in 1953, described it simply as 'a beautiful bottle, reaching its apogee.' Two years later, under his wing, I was somewhat more down to earth: 'very full' (appearance); 'deep and fine' (bouquet); 'very, very dry tannins still, (yet) soft taste, fine but no frills.' Both I and the wine matured over the years for there were more appreciative notes in the 1960s . . . . The very best, the most recent, a 'Rés du Baron' jeroboam recorked in 1953: lively, intense; initially restrained but complete, opening gradually. Lovely and - for Mouton - relatively low-keyed. Sweet, fairly full-bodied, delicious fruit, excellent tannin and acidity. 'A perfect drink.'"

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.
