Chateau Mouton Rothschild 2010
Chateau Mouton Rothschild is a legendary First Growth estate situated in the Pauillac appellation of the Médoc, France. Since being acquired by Nathaniel de Rothschild in 1853, the estate has remained under the visionary stewardship of the Rothschild family, most notably Baron Philippe de Rothschild, who achieved the historic reclassification to First Growth status in 1973. The winery's philosophy bridges the worlds of art and viticulture, famously commissioning a unique artist-designed label for every vintage since 1945.
Wine Description
The 2010 Chateau Mouton Rothschild is an opaque blueish-purple wine with an intense and multi-faceted sensory profile. The nose is complex and spellbinding, opening with aromas of crème de cassis, black cherry, and dark berries, followed by intricate layers of graphite, cedar, tobacco leaf, and subtle notes of incense and truffle. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and powerful, featuring flawlessly integrated, velvety tannins and a deep, concentrated fruit core. The finish is exceptionally long, characterized by a refined mineral freshness and elegant floral nuances. Composed of 94% Cabernet Sauvignon and 6% Merlot, this remarkable vintage is built for the long term, with an optimal drinking window extending from 2025 through 2085.
