Tasting Notes
Robert Parker 95-96
The 2021 Mouton Rothschild is a terrific wine in the making, unfurling in the glass with aromas of cherries and wild berries mingled with notions of violets, espresso roast, pipe tobacco and mint. Medium to full-bodied, deep and seamless, it’s a layered, enveloping wine that’s ample and concentrated, with succulent acids, melting tannins and a long, resonant finish. A blend of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot and 1% Cabernet Franc that attained 13.1% alcohol, this is a demonstrative, sensual Mouton that’s the fruit of extreme selection, and that may well make my score seem conservative with further elevage. Bravo to the talented Jean-Emmanuel Danjoy and his team.

Couleur sombre, intense et belle. Nez tres aromatique, fin, fruite, pur, subtil et pour la premiere fois a cet age floral. Minutieux en entree de bouche et en meme temps plein, le vin caresse le palais particulierement bien construit, juteux, seveux et noble. Il avance complet et profond vers une longue finale complexe, avec une etonnante qualite de chair. C’est superbe. Assemblage : 89 % cabernet sauvignon, 10 % merlot, 1 % cabernet franc. Degre d alcool : 13 1 – pH : 3,73 – IPT 59. Vendanges du 29 septembre au 6 octobre.
Anticipated maturity: 2030-2055
