Château Mouton Rothschild 2014
Château Mouton Rothschild 2014 is one of the most outstanding wines of the 2014 vintage in Bordeaux. It comes from the prestigious Pauillac appellation and has been classified as a Premier Cru Classé since 1973, an exceptional distinction within the 1855 classification. As is tradition at Mouton Rothschild, the label was designed by the renowned artist David Hockney, created as a tribute to Baroness Philippine de Rothschild, who passed away in 2014.
Although it can already be enjoyed, it continues to evolve very well. Many critics believe it will reach its peak between 2025 and 2055, and even beyond if properly preserved.

Winemaking
Grapes: 81% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc
It follows the traditional method of the great wines of Pauillac, with extremely rigorous control in both the vineyard and the winery. The harvest is done by hand, with the grapes first selected in the vineyard and then again at the winery. The grapes are then destemmed and sorted. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks of varying sizes to vinify each plot separately. A prolonged maceration extracts color, aromas, and tannins, while malolactic fermentation softens the acidity and adds complexity. The wine spends approximately 22 months in 100% new French oak barrels, made in the Château's own cooperage. During this aging period, the wine undergoes regular racking and constant monitoring to ensure its evolution.
Tasting notes
View:
It has a very deep and intense garnet color with violet reflections evolving into dark ruby tones.
Nose:
Highly complex and elegant, with several aromatic layers of ripe black fruit, cedar, fine tobacco, graphite, and subtle hints of cocoa and roasted coffee. Sweet spices such as vanilla, clove, and nutmeg, derived from barrel aging.
Mouth:
It presents a broad and silky entry, with excellent fruit concentration. Abundant yet refined tannins. A fresh acidity provides balance, a velvety texture, and great depth. A long and persistent finish with hints of cassis, graphite, cocoa, and tobacco.
Food pairing
It is recommended to accompany with aged beef ribeye steak, roast lamb, beef tenderloin with mushroom sauce, venison or wild boar and aged sheep cheeses.
