Het beroemdste en meest beschreven château van Bordeaux is ongetwijfeld Mouton Rothschild in Pauillac. De wijn is legendarisch én een waar verzamelobject. Niet per se vanwege het fraaie design van het etiket dat sinds 1934 ieder jaar ontworpen wordt door een beroemd kunstenaar, maar om de epische kwaliteit van deze Pauillac 1e Grand Cru Classé.

Mouton Rothschild

In 1853 kocht Baron Nathaniel de Rothschild een landgoed in Pauillac op een veiling. Het doel was om zijn meest prominente gasten die hij op dit landgoed zou ontvangen zijn eigen wijn kon schenken. Twee jaar later,  tijdens de classificatie van Bordeaux in 1855, werd Château Mouton Rothschild niet als 1e Grand Cru Classé geklasseerd; geheel ten onrechte volgens de familie De Rothschild. Het was achterkleinzoon Nathaniel de Rothschild die het in 1973 eindelijk voor elkaar kreeg om de promotie van 2e naar 1e Grand Cru Classé te bewerkstelligen. Toenmalig minister van landbouw Jacques Chirac ondertekende het historische decreet. Sindsdien prijkt op het etiket: “Premier je suis, second je fus, Mouton ne change”. Wat betekent: eerste ben ik, tweede was ik, Mouton verandert niet.

De jaargangen 2009, 2019 én 2021

Vandaag stel ik u graag deze drie jaargangen voor. Een unieke kans om deze zeldzame, felbegeerde wijnen in uw bezit te krijgen. De internationale wijnpers is unaniem lyrisch! Over de jaargang 2009 schrijft Robert Parker: “Kudos to the Baroness Philippine de Rothschild and the entire Mouton team” (99/100 punten). James Suckling is bijzonder enthousiast over de 2019: “This is incredibly complex (...) Yet, it remains cool and classy.” (99/100 punten). En ook al is het oordeel bij het proeven van het vatmonster nog niet definitief, James Suckling bekroonde de 2021 met 96-97/100 punten. De wijnen zijn van de absolute buitencategorie en kunnen eindeloos lang opgelegd worden waarbij ze alsmaar aan complexiteit en diepgang winnen.

"The 2009 Mouton Rothschild has a striking label from Anish Kapoor. The wine is a blend of 88% Cabernet Sauvignon and 12% Merlot that begs comparison as a young wine with what the 1982 tasted like in 1985 or, I suspect, what the 1959 may have tasted like in 1962. Representing 50% of their production, the wine has an inky purple color to the rim and not terribly high alcohol for a 2009 (13.2%), but that is reflected by the high percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon. It has a remarkable nose of lead pencil shavings, violets, creme de cassis and subtle barrique smells. It is stunningly opulent, fat, and super-concentrated, but the luxurious fruit tends to conceal some rather formidable tannins in the finish. This is an amazing wine that will be slightly more drinkable at an earlier age than I thought from barrel, but capable of lasting 50 or more years. Kudos to the Baroness Philippine de Rothschild and the entire Mouton team, lead by Monsieur Dalhuin.”

“The texture is the most striking thing on this wine, right from the attack. It rolls out a carpet of silk and welcomes you in, and displays the gourmet edge that Mouton does so expertly, with blackberry, black cherry, crushed blueberries and garrigue. It has a softness that makes it not necessarily signature Pauillac, but certainly signature Mouton, with the ripeness of the fruit tempered by firm, brushed tannins and a core of controlled acidity. Crushed mint leaves appear on the finish. Multi-layered and brilliant.”

“With a ton of ripe blackcurrant and some bitter chocolate this is a rich and rather opulent wine that still retains a delightful freshness and has a long, positively dry finish.”

“This will always be a great contrast to the dark power of the 2010, sporting lush layers of fig, boysenberry and blackberry confiture, carried by velvety tannins, flowing through a long, anise-, tobacco- and cocoa-fueled finish. Not shy on grip, but much rounder and plusher in feel. Hard to resist now, but there's absolutely no rush.”

“This is incredibly complex, with all the Cabernet descriptors, from mint and lead pencil to blackberry, blackcurrant and menthol. It changes all the time in the glass, just as in the nose. Yet, it remains cool and classy. Full-bodied with very fine, tight tannins that run the length of the wine, carrying on and on and on. Well-framed and compact wine. Never-ending procession of currant, berry and black cherry fruit, together with licorice, earth and just a hint of black truffle. Give this until 2028 to show its true greatness.”

“Deep intense nose, this is another brilliant Pauillac First Growth in 2019, all different in style and true to themselves. The tannins are ripe and fleshed out, taking a confident hold around well-textured blackberry and cassis fruits that are fluid, supple and frankly delicious. This is pure Mouton, you couldn't mistake it, with its touch of mocha and chocolate, and its core of freshness. Has a feel of the 1996 about it.”

“The 2019 Château Mouton Rothschild is based on 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot, and 1% Petit Verdot, and it hit a relatively normal alcohol level of 13.5%, which is higher than the 2009 and shows the quality of the Cabernet Sauvignon in the vintage. It shows the new, modern style of Bordeaux in its purity, elegance, and finesse while still being an incredibly concentrated Pauillac, and where some vintages of Mouton can just about jump out of the glass, this is a more seamless, streamlined, elegant beauty that builds with time in the glass and is just about impossible to fault. Gorgeous crème de cassis, lead pencil shavings, forest floor, licorice, damp earth, and graphite, as well as some espresso nuances, emerge on the nose, and it's rich, medium to full-bodied, has ultra-fine tannins, and a great finish. This is pure haute couture in Bordeaux that unquestionably offers pleasure today (again, just about all modern Bordeaux from a great vintage offer pleasure in their youth) but will require a solid decade to hit maturity, and it should evolve for 20, 30, 40 years or more. This is not an unformed beast of wine that demands bottle age, and I suspect it will have a broad, forgiving drink window that consumers will love.”

“The 2019 Mouton Rothschild is the most dramatic of the Médoc first growths, soaring from the glass with aromas of cassis, blackberries and violets mingled with rich aromas of cedar, cigar wrapper, licorice, loamy soil and spices. Full-bodied, layered and multidimensional, it's deep and powerful, with huge levels of concentration and an ineffably complete, seamless profile, concluding with a long, resonant finish. Plenty of ripe tannin is hidden by its ample core of fruit, and despite its youthful polish, this will require plenty of bottle age to realize all its potential. This blend of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot tastes in many respects like the 2016 Mouton's more sun-kissed cousin.”

“A firm and compact Mouton with a powerful tannin frame for the vintage, yet it remains fine and precise as it opens to a velvety texture. Black fruit with tar, pencil lead and tobacco. Driven and firm. A little angular and tight at the moment."

“Big, rich and sumptuously smoky, this has density and power. Its blackberry tones are structured, with a core of tannins. This very fine wine has all the classic attributes of a Mouton, just slightly lighter.”

“Gorgeous deep pink purple rim to the glass. The nose is bright and intense, heady with perfumed aromatics and edges of graphite, cocoa and sweet red cherries. Such clarity on the palate, excellent tension from the get go with beautifully expressed cherry and strawberry fruit that has a soft, ripe fleshy core. The tannins are fine but plentiful, coating the mouth providing the structure and frame. This has such a sense of quiet confidence - it's not shouting so much but gently showing off its many layers of fruit, acidity, minerality and freshness. This really grows on you, expanding and deepening as the flavours travel across the palate, coming in waves. Understated and introverted at the moment but still harmonious and classy. I love it.”

“The 2021 Mouton Rothschild is a terrific wine in the making, unfurling in the glass with aromas of cherries and wild berries mingled with notions of violets, espresso roast, pipe tobacco and mint. Medium to full-bodied, deep and seamless, it's a layered, enveloping wine that's ample and concentrated, with succulent acids, melting tannins and a long, resonant finish. A blend of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot and 1% Cabernet Franc that attained 13.1% alcohol, this is a demonstrative, sensual Mouton that's the fruit of extreme selection, and that may well make my score seem conservative with further élevage. Bravo to the talented Jean-Emmanuel Danjoy and his team.”

Mijn advies

De drinkers van dit godennectar mogen zich rekenen tot een bijzonder select gezelschap. Dit is een unieke kans om uw collectie uit te breiden met één, twee, misschien wel drie geweldige jaargangen van de meest iconische wijn op aarde. Met name de 2021, die momenteel nog in de kelders van Mouton-Rothschild ligt, is voor een enorm gunstige prijs te reserveren. Mijn verwachting is dat de prijs na de release flink zal gaan stijgen. U kunt er op vertrouwen dat de 2009 en 2019 onder de meest ideale omstandigheden het château hebben verlaten, daarna een prominente plek in onze eigen kelder hebben gekregen en met zorg naar uw eigen kelder kunnen worden gebracht.
