Chateau Mouton Rothschild Pauillac 2015 750ml

Château Mouton Rothschild is a classified First Growth in Pauillac, owned by the Baron Philippe de Rothschild group. Its second wine is Le Petit Mouton. The 2015 label art is by Gerhard Richter.

The 2015 is 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc. Harvest began on 14 September with the first Merlots and ran into early October. It's 13.5% alcohol.

The château describes a deep, dark color with a purple tint, aromas of blackberry and bilberry followed by toast, liquorice and blond tobacco, then a slightly saline attack, creamy tannins and an exceptionally long finish. Lisa Perrotti-Brown of Wine Advocate calls it a total diva and well worth attention, and Wine Spectator finds it broad, deep and long.

Against Château Lynch-Bages 2019, Mouton is the First Growth grand vin with more Cabernet Sauvignon, 82% against 70%; for a landmark bottle to cellar, choose Mouton.

James Suckling found it very closed and shy when he tasted it in 2018. Decant it for several hours and serve it with roast lamb or aged hard cheese.
