ASSEMBLAGE: 81% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Merlot
Le vin révèle une robe intense aux reflets violacés.Sa palette aromatique est riche : fruits rouges, fruits noirs, mûre sauvage, réglisse.A l’aération, les épices poivrées se mêlent harmonieusement à la vanille. Les nuances florales évoquent le lilas et la pivoine ; puis apparaissent des notes mentholées, minérales et fumées.Charnu en bouche, sur des tanins puissants mais veloutés, Château Mouton Rothschild 2007 présente un équilibre remarquable.
Robert Parker – 92/100 Drink 2010-2025 Composed of 81% Cabernet Sauvignon and 19% Merlot, the deep purple-colored 2007 Mouton reveals sweet aromas of creme de cassis, subtle oak, and flowers. Medium to full-bodied and elegant with sweet tannin as well as flavors and a texture that build incrementally on the palate, this strong effort should evolve over the next 15 years. Neal Martin – 93-95/100 Drink - The Mouton ’07 is expressive on the nose with dense black fruits, cedar and cigar box, a touch of sous-bois just loitering in the background. It has a nice purity and control. The palate is medium-bodied, very fine tannins but good backbone and a wonderful sense of natural harmony and balance (to the point where you could consider drinking this now.) Blackberry, cedar, tobacco, graphite – all the elements one seeks in a Pauillac with a very elegant finish. Moderate depth, crisp and vivacious. This represents a superb wine for the vintage. Jancis Robinson – 18 Drink 2014-2020 Deep purple and light nose you do have to concentrate to find the first growth nature of this. Dense with a dry finish and some fine tannins. Just a little dilute but the fruit is ripe enough (even if the tannins aren’t quite). Almost opulent certainly good round fruit. Just a bit stringy on the finish. Cool and light after the 2006… Big mistake to serve the 2006 alongside! So much more there. Drink 2014-2020 |

A Premier Cru Classé from the Bordeaux region and one of the world ‘s greatest wines, is owned by Baroness Philippine de Rothschild, daughter of the legendary Baron Philippe, the estate includes 207 acres of vines at Pauillac. In 1853, Baron Nathaniel de Rothschild, a member of the English branch of the family, bought Château Brane–Mouton and renamed it Château Mouton Rothschild (1902 1988) and decided to take the future of the estate into his own hands. In 1924, he was the first to introduce château bottling. In 1926, he built the famous “Grand Chai”, the majestic 100 metres cellar, which has become a major attraction for visitors to Mouton. 1945, marked the beginning of a fascinating collection of works of art, created every year for the Mouton label. In 1962 saw the inauguration of the Museum of Wine in Art next to the Grand Chai. In 1973, after a twenty-year battle, Baron Philippe obtained a revision of the 1855 classification and Mouton was officially recognized as a First Growth.In 1988, Baroness Philippine de Rothschild succeded her father Baron Philippe. In 1994, Mouton for the first time produced a second wine, Le Petit Mouton de Mouton Rothschild.
Le Petit Mouton de Mouton Rothschild is generally made from a selection of the youngest vines of the illustrious First Growth and harvested, vinified and bottled with the same painstaking care : the grapes are collected in small baskets, the wine is fermented in the famous Mouton oak vats and aged in barrels using traditional methods. Everything is done to ensure that the wine expresses the elegance and depth of a great Pauillac.
In1934, the Château d'Armailhac [5eme Cru Classé 1855] was purchased by Baron Philippe de Rothschild. This estate was built by Dominique d’Armailhac in the 18th century.
Baron Philippe changed the name of d'Armailhacq to Mouton-Baron-Philippe. By 1976 it was time for another name change; Philippe wanted Chateau Baronne-Pauline, out of respect for his deceased wife, but permission was not granted. Philippe settled for Mouton-Baronne-Philippe, nothing more than a change of gender. The subsequent decision by Philippe's daughter, Philippine, who now heads the family business, to revert to Chateau d'Armailhac (dropping the 'q' at the end) was a most sensible one.
Château Clerc Milon, [5ème Grand Cru Classé en 1855] is purchased in 1934 by Baron Philippe de Rothschild. This estate consists of 107 acres, planted with the typical varieties of the region : Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Carmenère. The vineyard lies between two Pauillac First Growths, Lafite and Mouton. Before it was purchased by Baron Philippe de Rothschild, the domaine had become somewhat neglected, however, under his management, parcels were consolidated and many technical improvements were made, including the building or a new tank room. The fruits of these labours are now being seen as Château Clerc Milon has become one of the most sought- after Médoc wines, displaying richness and depth comparable with the region's finest.
