2015 Chateau Mouton Rothschild 1. Cru

France / Bordeaux / Medoc / Haut-Medoc / Pauillac 1. Cru Rouge
 
2015 Château Mouton Rothschild 1st Grand Cru Classé has an attractive, deep, and dark colour with a purple tint.
The refined and elegant nose reveals fruity wild blackberry and bilberry aromas. Notes of toast, liquorice and blond tobacco then emerge to fill out a rich and complex range of aromas.
The fresh, full-bodied, and slightly saline attack shows great intensity, opening on smooth and creamy tannins which enfold a silky texture lifted by a touch of minerality.
The impression on the palate is very full, rich in ripe fruit and peppery spice flavours. An exceptionally long finish concludes a remarkably balanced wine.

The 2015 vintage in Pauillac is very similar in its heft and opulence to the 2005 vintage.
 
The label of the 2015 vintage is illustrated by an original artwork by the artist Gerhard Richter.

82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc.
