Château Mouton Rothschild 2003 (6 MAG)

Château Mouton Rothschild 2003

Pauillac, 1er Cru Classé

Good levels, 2 labels very slightly nicked at top, 1 very slightly torn at edge; Bons niveaux, 2 étiquettes très légèrement entaillées en haut, 1 très légèrement déchirée en bordure

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 brilliant 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 is sourced from a much larger collection and has a great selection of bottles, magnums and double magnums with a clear focus on First Growths. This is evidently the cellar of a wine lover with true passion and extremely discerning tastes.
