The Wine

Château Mouton Rothschild 2008 is a distinguished First Growth from Pauillac, combining the power and structure of the Médoc with the refinement and complexity for which the estate is renowned. The 2008 vintage produced classically structured Bordeaux wines, and Mouton Rothschild expresses this character with impressive precision, freshness and depth.

On the palate, concentrated dark fruit is balanced by fresh acidity and firm, finely integrated tannins. Elegant yet powerful, it offers the classic Pauillac character and structure to develop beautifully with further ageing.
