Château Mouton Rothschild 2010

Red wine | Premier Cru Classé, Pauillac AC

Often, the men and women who "make" Mouton succeed one another from generation to generation, passing on ancestral know-how which is enriched, over the years, with the addition of the most modern techniques. This is how it is, always different depending on the vintage, but always the same – witness its legendary blackcurrant flavor! – and always at the top, the Château well deserves its motto: “Mouton ne change”.

Wine Spectator

This remains the stunner, a battleship of a wine, brimming with cassis, blackberry and fig fruit that has melded together now, with the backdrop of alder, bay leaf and menthol starting to emerge a bit more. The long finish is loaded with grip, pulling the fruit and other components together. And then there's that flash of iron at the very end. Awesome wine.--Non-blind Mouton-Rothschild vertical (March 2017). Best from 2025 through 2060.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Deep garnet in color, the 2010 Mouton Rothschild is a little closed to begin, slowly unfurling to reveal notes of baked black cherries, crème de cassis, blackberry compote and bouquet garni with suggestions of sweaty leather, pencil lead, cedar chest and black truffles plus a hint of crushed rocks. Full-bodied, the palate is solidly constructed of super firm, ripe, grainy tannins and lively acidity, framing the densely packed black fruit, finishing on a persistent mineral note.

Balanced and refined, with a caressing touch. Very long finish!

Wine-growing region

The vineyard is located on the “Plateau de Mouton”. This terroir is made up of very deep gravel laid on a limestone subsoil. The undulations allow good flow of water towards the Gironde and thus promote natural drainage for the vineyard. This Premier Cru benefits from exceptional natural conditions both for the quality of its gravel soils and for its exposure and sunshine.

Winemaking

Manual harvest, vinification for 15 to 25 days in oak vats, aging for 19 to 22 months in new oak barrels.

Bottle closure

Cork

Packaging

Wooden box

Château Mouton Rothschild

The property, located in the heart of Médoc in Pauillac, was acquired in 1853 at auction by Baron Nathaniel de Rothschild. Magnificently exposed on the side of a small hill, the Château Mouton Rothschild vineyard extends over 90 ha.
