Château Mouton Rothschild 2002, a Pauillac gem, comes from deep gravel soils. A blend of 77% Cabernet Sauvignon and 12% Merlot, aged for 18 months in new barrels. Black-fruit aromas, a structured palate, precise tannins and an elegant finish. Ideal with lamb or cheese, it can be cellared for many years.
Nestled in the heart of Pauillac, this legendary estate has embodied Bordeaux excellence for generations, combining family tradition with artistic daring.
- Terroir : Deep gravel soils of the Médoc, where stony, well-drained ground shapes wines of exceptional structure, marked by minerality and power.
- Winemaking : A meticulous blend of noble grape varieties, aged for 18 months in new French oak barrels to bring fruit and wood into harmony without ever sacrificing elegance.
Tasting notes for Château Mouton Rothschild 2002
Appearance – An intense ruby-red color with crystalline brilliance, suggesting a silky texture and promising depth.
On the nose – An initial animal note, almost wild, gives way to aromas of juicy blackberry and ripe blackcurrant, followed by woody and vanilla notes and subtle chalky minerality.
On the palate – The opening is dense, almost fleshy, with firm yet remarkably fine tannins. Lively acidity and subtle salinity balance the richness of the fruit, while the long, taut finish leaves an elegant, lasting impression.
Serve between 16 and 18 °C in a Bordeaux glass to release its full complexity.
2002 vintage
A vintage marked by warmer, drier weather than average, yielding wines with early ripeness yet appealing tension, where fruit meets a refined tannic structure.
- Aging potential : Cellar for another 10 to 20 years in a cool place (12–14 °C), away from light, to let time reveal its full depth.
