The Mouton Rothschild 1987 stands as a notable representation of its vintage. Produced under the stewardship of Baron Philippe de Rothschild, this wine offers a blend reflecting the unique terroir of Pauillac. It exhibits a complex bouquet with emerging notes of cedarwood and ripe blackcurrants, alongside a robust structure. The wine is medium to full-bodied and presents a firm tannic profile, suggesting ageing potential of at least a decade. The label features a touching tribute from the Baron’s daughter, marking a significant moment in the estate’s history as this was the final vintage crafted by him.
