2020 Chteau Mouton-Rothschild Premier Cru Class Pauillac, Bordeaux, France

ABOUT THIS WINE

The 2020 Chteau Mouton-Rothschild is crafted from a blend of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot, and 2% Petit Verdot, reflecting the dominance of Cabernet Sauvignon, which thrives in the Pauillac terroir. The grapes were hand-harvested and rigorously sorted before fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks. After fermentation, the wine underwent malolactic fermentation in barrel and was aged for 18 months in 100% new French oak barrels, imparting a deep layer of complexity and structure. The 2020 vintage benefited from optimal growing conditions, with a warm, dry summer and cool nights, allowing the grapes to ripen evenly and preserve their freshness. The result is a wine with a perfect balance of power, precision, and elegance, with remarkable aging potential.
