2022 Chateau Mouton Rothschild 6 bottles case

The 2022 Château Mouton Rothschild is a magnificent release from one of Bordeaux’s most celebrated estates, a Premier Cru Classé since 1973 and the only château ever to be elevated in the 1855 Classification. With a legacy shaped by Baron Philippe de Rothschild and carried forward by his daughter, Baroness Philippine, Mouton is renowned not only for its powerful, opulent wines but also for its tradition of commissioning world-famous artists to design each vintage’s label—making every bottle a collector’s treasure.

The 2022 vintage reflects a warm and concentrated growing season that produced grapes of extraordinary ripeness and depth. The blend is composed of 92% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Merlot, and 1% Cabernet Franc, vinified parcel by parcel before ageing in 100% new French oak barrels. The result is a wine that captures both the grandeur of the year and the timeless style of Mouton.

In the glass, it reveals an opaque purple hue and an intoxicating bouquet of cassis, blackberry, and blueberry, lifted by violets and crushed rose petals. Secondary and tertiary notes of graphite, cedar, cocoa, exotic spice, and tobacco leaf emerge with air, adding depth and intrigue. On the palate, it is rich and full-bodied, with a dense core of dark fruit, velvety tannins, and remarkable freshness, leading to a finish of extraordinary length and precision.

Critics have acclaimed the 2022 Château Mouton Rothschild as one of the defining wines of the vintage, praising its intensity, balance, and monumental ageing potential. A masterpiece of Pauillac, it will enchant both collectors and connoisseurs, offering immediate allure in its youth and the capacity to evolve for half a century or more.
