Chateau Mouton Rothschild 2018

Named as the World’s Best Wine of 2021!

Marked by significant climatic contrasts for the Bordeaux region, 2018 is already in line with the very great years of Château Mouton Rothschild. The first half of 2018 saw significant rainfall combined with hail episodes. The humidity of the mild spring required all the efforts of the experienced technical teams of Château Mouton Rothschild to maintain the vine in perfect health. The sun that then set in from July, shining until the harvest date, favored an excellent maturity of the berries. Started on September 10 for the red grape varieties, the harvest, which ended on October 3, promised the best. Despite lower yields than usual, the berries showed exceptional sugar richness and very beautiful tannins.

Varietal mix: 86% Cabernet Sauvignon Tasting notes 12% Merlot 2% Cabernet Franc

The wine has an intense, deep black colour. The nose reveals intense ripe fruit aromas and nutmeg notes, set off by touches of mint. The ample, full and refined attack opens on blackberry and cherry flavours lifted by a hint of spice. Generous, creamy and well-rounded tannins underpin candied flavours, giving an overall impression of succulence. Great balance between the fruit and the tannins paves the way for a highly refined and exceptionally long finish.

"This has so much tannic power, with density, layers and structure along with layers of blackberry, liquorice, baked earth, cigar box and the signature exotic spices of Mouton. A big, textured and complex wine that is taking it all in its stride. 100% new oak. There is the tiniest touch of Petit Verdot in the blend, but under 1%, so it’s not in the official figures. 62% of production went into the grand vin." - Decanter, 100 points

"Exquisite purity of blackcurrants, raspberries and some citrus. The aromas flow from the glass. Full-bodied with seamless tannins that coat the palate and then fall into the center, to deliver a thoroughly refined and harmonious young red. Endless finish. 86% cabernet sauvignon. This is the new 1959, one of the legendary vintages of Mouton." - James Suckling, 100 points
