CHÂTEAU MOUTON ROTHSCHILD 1998

Wine 1998 1er Cru Classé  Bordeaux Pauillac

To create the Château Mouton Rothschild 1998 label, the managers chose to honor the work of Mexican Rufino TAMAYO who died a few years earlier. Initially, this original work was to adorn the label of the 1990 vintage, but fate decided otherwise. The painting reveals a “Brindis”, the man who toasts: a banal popular ritual that Tamayo transfigures, under a glowing sun, into a striking allegory of the pleasure of tasting.
Château Mouton Rothschild 1998 offers aromas of black fruit, blackcurrant, leather with mineral nuances. This Premier Cru Classé is made from 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc.

Composed of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc, the 1998 Mouton Rothschild is deep garnet-brick in colour with lovely crème de cassis, dried roses, hoisin and baking spice notes with underlying notions of dried cherries and mulberries plus touches of wood smoke, incense and forest floor. Medium to full-bodied and packed with rich fruit framed by firm, chewy tannins, it is stacked with complex, evolving flavours and finishes with incredibly long-lasting perfumed notes. According to winemaker Philippe Dhalluin, this needs about three hours of decanting at this stage. I simply love the place this wine is in right now, possessing plenty of mature, tertiary characters yet still sporting bags of fruit. It won't be fading anytime soon either and should cellar nicely for 20-25+ more years.

Impressed by Mouton in this under-rated vintage. A generous wine that is at its peak, revealing the flamboyant, ripe side of Mouton. Classic Pauillac cedar box, violet and cassis notes with a lingering finish.

Château Mouton Rothschild

Château Mouton Rothschild is one of the most iconic wine estates in the world. Located in the Pauillac appellation, it is the only growth in the official Bordeaux wine classification of 1855 to have been elevated to the rank of Premier Cru Classé in 1973, having initially been classified as a Deuxième Cru.

Acquired in 1853 by Nathaniel de Rothschild, the estate then known as Brane-Mouton became Château Mouton Rothschild and entered legend under the impetus of Baron Philippe de Rothschild. A visionary, he profoundly modernised the vineyard, developed the cellars and imposed an absolute commitment to quality, making Mouton one of the greatest wines of Bordeaux. His motto illustrates this unique ascent: « Premier je suis, second je fus, Mouton ne change ».

The singularity of Mouton Rothschild is also expressed through its artistic labels, illustrated each year by great contemporary artists, reinforcing its cultural and heritage aura. This pursuit of excellence can also be found in the other properties of the Rothschild family, notably Château Clerc Milon and Château d'Armailhac.

From the mythical 1945 and 1961 to the 1982 vintage and the 1996 wine, through to a more recent year such as the 2004 wine, the wines of Château Mouton Rothschild are among the most sought-after in the world of wine. The estate completes its grand vin with a second wine, Le Petit Mouton, created in 1993, and a rare white, Aile d'Argent.
