Château Mouton Rothschild 2010 is a Left Bank Bordeaux red wine from the Pauillac appellation, presented here in an impressive 500cl format. This 2010 bottling is a blend of 94% Cabernet Sauvignon and six per cent Merlot, sourced from the estate’s prime gravel slopes. The vintage is regarded as a modern legend, producing wines with architectural tannins and perfect phenolic ripeness. The bouquet is profound, showing notes of crème de cassis, graphite, cedar and incense. On the palate, the wine is powerful and multi-layered, displaying an incredible concentration of dark fruit and a rigid structural core. The large format ensures a very slow evolution, promising decades of development for this authoritative Pauillac.
