Château Mouton Rothschild 2002

Tasting notes

"(...) the 2002 Mouton-Rothschild is a wine that burned brightly in its youth, though recent encounters suggest that maybe it is beginning to flag as it enters what you might call middle age. Here, it has a conservative bouquet with blackberry, cedar, warm bricks and melted tar aromas - an unfussy, uncomplicated, quite serious Pauillac bouquet. The palate is well balanced with crisp acidity. It feels lively on the entry with fine tannin, a Mouton that is nimble on its feet with a gentle grip towards the finish, which offers a satisfying aftertaste of spice and clove.(...). "

INFORMATIONS ABOUT THE ESTATE

In 1853, Baron Nathaniel de Rothschild bought Château Brane-Mouton and immediatly renamed it Château Mouton Rothschild.

In 1945, to celebrate the Liberation, Baron Philippe had the imaginative idea of crowing the label for that year's vintage with a suitable design. It was the "V" for Victory, the first in the facinating collection of original works created each year for the Mouton label by famous painters, including Mirò, Chagall, Picasso, Warhol, Bacon,...

In 1973, after a long battle, Baron Philippe finally obtained a revision of the 1855 classification and Mouton was officially recognized as a first growth.
