Chateau Mouton Rothschild 1986
Produced in France, this legendary Premier Cru hails from the Pauillac appellation within the Médoc region of Bordeaux. Château Mouton Rothschild is one of only two estates to have remained in the same family since 1855, and it famously became the only property to ever be elevated to First Growth status, a feat achieved in 1973 after decades of lobbying by Baron Philippe de Rothschild. The winery’s philosophy is a marriage of art and agriculture, characterized by its tradition of commissioning world-renowned artists—such as Bernard Séjourné for the 1986 vintage—to design its unique annual labels.
Wine Description
The 1986 vintage is a monumental wine, displaying an exceptionally deep, opaque ruby colour that remains remarkably youthful even after decades. The powerful and complex nose reveals a 'symphony' of graphite, cedar, and crème de cassis, layered with notes of black truffle, mint, and toasted oak. On the palate, it is massive and full bodied, offering intense concentration and a firm, masculine structure characterized by tightly knit tannins and vibrant acidity. This blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Petit Verdot spent 20 months in 100% new oak. A true vin de garde, this wine is currently in a 'legendary' drinking spot but has the potential to age for 50 to 100 years.
