Château Mouton Rothschild 2020
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”.

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