When it comes to the iconic estates of Bordeaux, Château Mouton-Rothschild stands in a class of its own, and the 2000 vintage is one that perfectly encapsulates the estate’s reputation for producing wines of unmatched depth, elegance, and longevity. From the Pauillac region, this wine combines the strength and power of Cabernet Sauvignon with the finesse that only Mouton-Rothschild can deliver.

The nose opens with a complex array of dark fruit—blackberry, cassis, and black plum—intertwined with aromas of tobacco, cedar, and leather, giving it a classic Bordeaux character. As the wine breathes, notes of spice—cinnamon, clove, and a touch of graphite—emerge, adding layers of intrigue. On the palate, it is full-bodied and structured, with firm yet velvety tannins that provide both power and grace. The acidity is perfectly balanced, supporting the rich fruit and allowing the wine to retain freshness. The finish is long and opulent, with lingering notes of dark fruit, cigar box, and a slight mineral edge that speaks to the Pauillac terroir.

This wine is a perfect match for rich, flavorful dishes such as roasted lamb, grilled steak, or duck with a red wine reduction. While Mouton-Rothschild 2000 is drinking beautifully now, its structure allows it to age gracefully, offering more complexity and nuance in the years to come. A true legend of Bordeaux, this wine is a remarkable expression of Pauillac, blending power, elegance, and longevity into every sip.

"Deep garnet colored with a touch of brick, the 2000 Mouton Rothschild (composed of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon and 14% Merlot) boldly bursts from the glass with tantalizing Black Forest cake, dried mulberries, kirsch and blackcurrant pastilles notes plus wafts of iodine, incense, potpourri and cinnamon stick with a hint of cigar boxes. Medium to full-bodied, the palate packs in the muscular fruit, framed by firm, ripe, grainy tannins and seamless freshness, finishing with phenomenal length. This is an incredibly complex and multifaceted wine, and it's drinking deliciously now. This said, I can’t help but feel that it is holding something back, that it still has another layer of opulence and seduction to reveal in its tight-knit fruit and solid structure. I personally can’t wait to see how this beauty will continue to unfold over the years to come."

"A little more open than the other four Firsts in the vintage, with undergrowth, baked earth and gentle spice alongside the truffles, smoked caramel, spice and bilberry fruits. It shows plenty of the trademark Mouton generosity and ripe tannic structure and is lusciously textured. This came in at 80% 1st wine. It wasn't until Philippe Dhalluin arrived a few years later that production for the 1st wine would be lowered, with significantly more Petit Mouton being made (Lafite and Latour both closer to 50% 1st wine for similar sized estates). That's not to say that you won't be thrilled to open and drink this wine, and it will undoubtedly show that same stubborn unwillingness to fade away that the First Growths all share. 100% new oak."

Wine Enthusiast

"With its distinctive antique bottle and gold etched label dominated by a sheep, this is definitely a move away from classic Bordeaux bottling. It is good that the wine can support the presentation. The fruit is so ripe, it almost tastes of raisins, but that sweetness is finely balanced by the dry tannins and concentrated texture. To finish, there are exotic spices, giving an almost oriental character to the long aftertaste."
