CHATEAU MOUTON ROTHSCHILD
Château Mouton Rothschild is a member of an elite group of Premier Cru estates in the commune of Pauillac and has the enviable position of controlling 207 acres in arguably some of the worlds most important terroir. While Pauillac is not the largest of the communal appellations, that honor falls to Margaux, it is no coincidence that no fewer than three of the four Premier Crus and no fewer than fifteen other classified châteaux, nearly one third of those in the 1855 Classification, reside on this most important place of French terroir.
At Mouton the classic Bordeaux varietal mix of Cabernet Sauvignon (77, Merlot (12, Cabernet Franc (9 and Petit Verdot (2 is observed in the vineyard. Average age of the vines are 48 years and are planted to a high-density ratio of plants to acre. At it's best this combation produces as full and concentrated a wine as you are likely to find in the Médoc. To be "Mouton" the wine will have its unmistakable opulence and a seductive aromatic cedar wood like complexity which makes for an exhilarating consumable liquid.
