TASTING NOTES:	A candidate for wine of the vintage, there are only 20,000 cases of the 2002 Mouton-Rothschild (there are 25,000 cases of the 2000). Made from low yields of 31 hectoliters per hectare, it is a blend of 78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Petit Verdot. The color may be the most saturated and opaque of any Medoc Cabernet-based 2002. It is a broad-flavored offering displaying tell-tale creme de cassis intermixed with smoke, cocoa, leather, and licorice. Still excruciatingly tannic, but incredibly dense, powerful, and rich, the phenolic measurements were nearly off the charts for this full-bodied, monster-sized Mouton. Given most Moutons’ track records, I suspect the 2002 will shut down after bottling, and perhaps need a minimum of 10-15 years to re-emerge. This is unquestionably a vin de garde for long-term cellaring. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2040

About Château Mouton Rothschild

Château Mouton Rothschild, nestled in the esteemed Pauillac appellation of Bordeaux's Médoc region, stands as an icon of winemaking excellence and aristocratic heritage. Acquired by Baron Nathaniel de Rothschild in 1853, it was under the visionary leadership of Baron Philippe de Rothschild, beginning in 1922, that the estate ascended to the coveted status of a first-growth (Premier Grand Cru Classé) in the Bordeaux Classification system.

The terroir of Château Mouton Rothschild's vineyards, featuring well-drained gravel soils typical of Pauillac, provides an optimal foundation for the cultivation of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot grapes. The meticulous winemaking process, marked by traditional methods and careful attention to detail, results in wines known for their concentration, richness, and remarkable aging potential.

A distinctive element of Château Mouton Rothschild is its tradition of commissioning original artwork for each vintage's label. Renowned artists, including luminaries like Picasso, Chagall, and Warhol, have contributed to this unique aspect of the estate's identity.

Château Mouton Rothschild's wines undergo a significant period of aging in oak barrels before bottling, a process that enhances their complexity and depth. The estate has produced numerous legendary vintages, with certain years achieving iconic status among collectors and enthusiasts.

With its rich history, commitment to excellence, and unique label art, Château Mouton Rothschild holds an esteemed place in the global wine market. Its wines, sought after for their quality and aging potential, stand as a testament to the Rothschild family's dedication to producing some of the world's finest Bordeaux wines.
