Château Mouton Rothschild 2025 is a landmark Pauillac, composed of an exceptional 98% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Merlot. It opens with highly refined aromas of blackcurrant, violet, graphite, cedar, and subtle espresso and floral notes. The palate is dense, powerful, and impeccably structured, combining ultra-fine tannins with remarkable freshness and precision. Despite its concentration and depth, the wine remains elegant and controlled, finishing with extraordinary length, purity, and energy. A monumental and age-worthy vintage of Mouton Rothschild.

A glamorous wine for the vintage, with mesmerizing perfumes of flowers, al dente fruit and citrus flowers. Black currants with some mineral and stone undertones. Medium- to full-bodied with ultra-fine tannins and an endless finish. The tannins lead you on a great trip. It is the most cabernet sauvignon ever used in the blend in recent memory. Balanced and structured. 98% cabernet sauvignon and 2% merlot.

A blend of 98% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Merlot, the 2025 Mouton Rothschild is a dense, powerful wine, unwinding in the glass with aromas of crème de cassis, blueberries, espresso roast, cigar wrapper and violet. Full-bodied, deep and dense, it's rich, layered and concentrated, with prodigious mid-palate presence and a long, youthfully structured finish. Small berries in Cabernet Sauvignon, below one gram even in the older vines, explain this Mouton's remarkable intensity of flavor. The grand vin represents 52% of the production and checks in at 13.1% alcohol.

98% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Merlot. Cask sample.
A record percentage of Cabernet in the blend. Aromatically refined with blackcurrant, graphite and cedar notes. Beautifully textured, the palate suave, full and fresh. Mouth-filling fruit as well, then length and persistence. Great definition. (JL)
