A monumental Pauillac that redefines power and precision, the 2022 Mouton Rothschild showcases an extraordinary concentration of 92% Cabernet Sauvignon and 8% Merlot—one of the estate’s highest Cabernet proportions ever. Aromas of blackcurrant, violets, graphite, truffle, and orange blossom lead into a full-bodied, seamless palate of immense depth and grace. Juicy black fruit, fine-grained tannins, and a cool mineral backbone drive an endless finish. Dense yet refined, this is quintessential Mouton—opulent, structured, and built to evolve for decades.

Wow. The aromas here are so complete with blackcurrants, asphalt, violets, lead pencil, orange blossoms and black truffles. A perfect nose. It's full-bodied yet tied down with seamless tannins that run the length of the wine and give such a seductive mouthfeel and persistence. A vintage with one of the highest percentages of cabernet sauvignon ever. Quintessential, great Bordeaux with no limits. Drink after 2028.

Spicy liquorice, bitter chocolate, tobacco, cigar, and aniseed on the nose. Round and bright, with juicy, delicate fruit and velvety tannins. Super concentrated yet graceful, layering ripeness, freshness, and stoniness. Controlled power - soft in texture but packed with Cabernet structure. Starts juicy and creamy, then surges with depth and length. Sweet black fruit meets cool, steely minerality, giving complexity and definition. Black liquorice on a sticky finish. Bold for Mouton but outstanding, this is going to deliver for decades. 3.68pH. Ageing 100% new oak.

The 2022 Mouton Rothschild is one of the most muscular, almost brutally powerful wines of the vintage. Unfurling in the glass with aromas of dark berries, plums and sweet crème de cassis mingled with notions of espresso roast, pencil lead and petroleum jelly, it's full-bodied, dense and concentrated, with huge reserves of tannin and fruit. A blend of 92% Cabernet Sauvignon and 8% Merlot that represents 49% of the estate's production, this is a prodigious Mouton that's built for the cellar.

Dark chocolate aromas and a hugely dense tannic structure show a wine with great concentration. The small berries of the vintage give the wine intensity and power, It will age for many years, but drink from 2029

92% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Merlot. Cask sample.
Cabernet Sauvignon-dominated and it shows. Lovely cassis fragrance with a twist of spice. Palate truly amazing – suave, sensual but packed with polished tannin. Enough lift to provide freshness as well as light and shade. Powerful and clearly for the very long term. A modern 1986?
