100 Robert Parker
The 2020 Mouton Rothschild is a striking wine and one that I regretted not purchasing en primeur as soon as it landed in my glass. Offering up complex aromas of minty cassis, pencil shavings, loamy soil, cigar wrapper, espresso roast and violets, it's medium to full-bodied, broad and layered, with terrific concentrated, beautifully refined tannins and a long, penetrating finish. Checking in at 12.8% alcohol, its incipient complexity, ineffable sense of completeness and exquisite balance mark it out as the purists' choice among the trio of 2018, 2019 and 2020. In this vintage, the lots that made it into the blend were largely confined to the core gravel terroirs that represent Mouton's heart, meaning that there's a little less to go around. This was the first vintage overseen by Mouton's new technical director, Jean-Emmanuel Danjoy, and he has begun with a flying start.

The 2020 Mouton Rothschild is sensual, delicate and polished. Bright floral notes lead into a core of sweet red cherry, cedar, mint, anise and blood orange. In 2020, the Mouton is a wine of unreal elegance and finesse. I can't wait to taste it from bottle, as I think there may be much more to it than it’s showing today. Technical director Jean-Emmanuel Danjoy noted that the 2020 was slow to extract because of its low alcohol (13.1%) compared with recent vintages.

Château Mouton Rothschild
Als einziges unter den Ersten Gewächsen in Bordeaux erwarb das Château Mouton Rothschild seine hohe Einstufung erst nach der berühmten Klassifikation von 1855. Im Jahr 1973 setzte sich Baron Philippe de Rothschild erfolgreich für das Château ein, was ihm den Premier-Cru-Status einbrachte, unter dem es heute rangiert. Seine Weine besetzen kontinuierlich die Spitze der klassifizierten Gewächse und sind mit ihrer Opulenz und Zugänglichkeit, gepaart mit Noten von schwarzer Johannisbeere und kraftvollem Tannin, ihrem erstklassigen Verschnittstil treu geblieben. Baron Philippe hat dies nach der Aufstufung seiner Weine treffend formuliert: “Premier je suis. Second je fus. Mouton ne change”, was bedeutet: “Erster bin ich. Zweiter war ich. Mouton ändert sich nicht.” Viele Jahre lang bis zu ihrem Tod 2014 leitete seine Tocher, die Kunstliebhaberin Baroness Philippine das Anwesen. Ihr ist es zu verdanken, dass weltberühmte Künstler wie Andy Warhol, Pablo Picasso, Marc Chagall, Keith Haring und Georges Braque die Etiketten für verschiedene Jahrgänge gestaltet haben. Neben dem Aushängeschild Mouton Rothschild und dem Zweitetikett Le Petit Mouton ist auch der in geringeren Mengen hergestellte Premium-Weißwein Aile d’Argent eine Versuchung.
