Chateau Mouton-Rothschild, Pauillac, 2021
is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
In a vintage shaped by restraint and skill, Château Mouton Rothschild 2021 is a striking expression of what First Growth Bordeaux can be when finesse takes the lead. While 2021 offered challenges—cooler conditions, lower yields—it also allowed top estates like Mouton to craft wines of purity, elegance, and classical structure.
The blend is Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant, as always, but here it shows a more architectural frame: aromas of blackcurrant, crushed violets, pencil shavings, and cedar unfold slowly, leading into a precise, mineral-driven palate. The tannins are firm yet ultra-fine, the oak perfectly integrated, and the acidity gives the wine lift and energy without sharpness. This is Mouton in a more contemplative mood—less flamboyant, more focused.
Built to age, yet already hinting at its inner detail, Mouton 2021 is a wine for collectors who value proportion and nuance over opulence. Pair with decades of patience—or, with proper decanting, a rare and refined glimpse into Left Bank classicism.
