Description
Château Mouton Rothschild 2003
Pauillac, 1er Cru Classé
Excellent levels, 2 labels very slightly nicked at top; Excellents niveaux, 2 étiquettes très légèrement entaillées en haut
Label: 150th Anniversary
Cabernet Sauvignon 76%, Merlot 14%, Cabernet Franc 8%, Petit Verdot 2%. This was the last vintage of Patrick Léon, with Philippe Dhalluin coming in for the 'élevage'. In 2022, it has a very deep colour and a great nose of blackcurrants and liquorice, oozing First Growth stature. Total succulence and richness on the palate, so juicy, opulent and luscious. Stunning ripeness that is beautifully managed in this hot vintage, as freshness is maintained - the glories of Cabernet Sauvignon revelling in warmth. This wine has always been a stand-out, a true celebration of 150 years of Rothschild ownership. Serena Sutcliffe, MW

A wonderful collection of Bordeaux from a pristine modern cellar, comprising all the leading names and the best vintages produced between 2000 and 2010. All the wines were purchased directly from one of the most reputable and established Bordeaux Négociants. This cellar has an incredible selection of bottles, magnums and double magnums from two of the most iconic vintages produced in the past 20 years with an impressive quantity of First Growths. Highlights includes the now legendary 2000 and 2005 vintages with all the First Growths in original wooden cases together with rarities such as Le Pin 2005 in magnum. This is evidently the cellar of a wine lover with true passion and extremely discerning tastes and is a collection that is sure to have global appeal.
