The Château Mouton Rothschild 1988, a fine wine from Pauillac, reveals its gravelly terroir. Notes of blackberry, tobacco, and vanilla, aged in barrique. A powerful and refined palate, silky tannins, and chalky minerality. Ideal with duck breast.
A legendary estate rooted at the heart of Pauillac, where family exigence has shaped wines of timeless elegance for generations.
- Terroir : Deep gravels and gravelly soils of Pauillac, the cradle of great Cabernet Sauvignons, imparting structure and minerality to the cuvées.
- Winemaking : Meticulous blending, aging in oak barrels, and patience to reveal the purity of the fruit and the complexity of the terroir.
Tasting notes for Château Mouton Rothschild 1988
- To the eye : Deep garnet robe with tawny highlights, of a silky density and a crystalline brilliance.
- On the nose : Aromas of ripe blackcurrant, cedar, blond tobacco, and undergrowth, lifted by a hint of graphite and a subtle iodized salinity.
- On the palate : Velvety attack, fine and taut tannins, a perfect balance between lively acidity and chalky minerality, a long and persistent finish on notes of liquorice and gentle spices.
Serve at 16–18°C in a Bordeaux glass to release its full complexity.
