A Premier Grand Cru Classé from Pauillac in Bordeaux’s Médoc, Château Mouton Rothschild 2010 is an exceptional vintage from one of the world’s most revered estates. The 2010 season was marked by low rainfall and optimal ripening conditions, producing small, concentrated berries of extraordinary quality. The blend is typically dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, with Merlot and touches of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, aged in 100% new French oak barrels. Every detail, from vineyard to bottling, is managed with absolute precision.
Bouquet Profound and layered. Blackcurrant, blackberry, and cassis dominate, underpinned by graphite, cedar, and tobacco leaf. Subtle notes of violet, dark chocolate, and spice box emerge with time in the glass—complex and evolving.
Palate Dense, structured, and majestic. A powerful core of dark fruit is framed by firm yet ultra-fine tannins. Layers of mocha, pencil shavings, crushed herbs, and black olive unfold across the palate, with seamless integration and extraordinary balance. The finish is endless—dry, precise, and resonating with Pauillac’s signature gravitas.
Food Pairing Pair with the finest cuts of beef, rack of lamb, duck confit, or truffle-infused dishes. For cheese, try aged Comté or Manchego. This is a wine to savour with cuisine worthy of its stature.
Cellaring Built for the long haul. Drink from 2025 onwards, with peak maturity expected between 2030–2060. Store in ideal cellaring conditions to preserve its grandeur and complexity.
