Chateau Mouton Rothschild 2021

Mouton Rothschild, the annual creation of a work of art First Classified Growth, Château Mouton Rothschild spreads over 84 hectares of vines in Pauillac, in the Médoc, planted with the noble grape varieties of the region. The estate benefits from exceptional natural conditions, as much for the quality of the soils composed of very deep gravel, as for the exposure and the sunshine. Mouton Rothschild is also a legendary place, where so many creators, forms, cultures, and religions vividly testify to the eternal and rich dialogue between art and wine. In 1945, to celebrate the victory of the Allies and to mark his return to his estate, Baron Philippe de Rothschild asked the artist Philippe Jullian to illustrate the label of Mouton Rothschild: the V of Victory appeared on the bottles. While his first attempt in 1924 was a failure, this time it was a complete success. Since then, the label of each new vintage of Mouton has been illustrated with the reproduction of an original artwork specially designed for Mouton by a contemporary artist. Beyond the exceptional intrinsic quality of its wines, Mouton Rothschild thus creates its unique and singular signature. From one label to another, Mouton Rothschild has thus brought together some of the most celebrated artists of their day, including Miró, Chagall, Braque, Picasso, Tàpies, Francis Bacon, Dali, Balthus, Jeff Koons and even Prince Charles, the Prince of Wales. Thus, each vintage at Mouton Rothschild is a tribute from one artist to another; an expression of deep respect between a renowned and talented personality and the greatest artist, Nature. Each year, art and wine engage a rich collaboration to create a unique and timeless work of art. The 2021 vintage The video of the vintage: https://bit.ly/MoutonRothschild2021 The 2021 vintage, having matured in conditions more typical of northerly latitudes, shows a return to classic equilibrium of vintages from generation ago, yielding fresh, well-balanced and well-structured wines that will reveal their full complexity with time. Tasting notes The wine is deep and dark, with a lustrous purple hue. The intense and elegant nose displays seductively scented blackberry and blackcurrant aromas, combined with floral notes of iris and touches of spice and cedarwood. A luscious, succulent attack leads into a beautifully balanced, fresh and harmonious palate on which bigarreau cherry flavours are enfolded in a structure of sapid, patrician tannins. Sustained by an exquisite minerality, the long, lingering finish releases a succession of spicy fresh fruit notes.
