Château Mouton Rothschild
Pauillac, France
About this product
Pauillac First Growth. The most powerful and opulent of the First Growths — 90%+ Cabernet Sauvignon. More flamboyant than Lafite: dark fruit (cassis, blackberry), graphite, tobacco, new oak visible. The famous artist-labelled bottle makes it the world's most collected wine label (literal art collection value). 2009 and 2010 are considered the most perfect modern expressions.
