Château Mouton Rothschild 1980

Tasting notes

" Tasted alongside Lynch Bages 66, a little fatter on the nose with notes of cedar and cooked meats. Good poise and freshness. The palate has good depth, smooth tannins and quite vivacious. Full of life and vigour. Where does the concentration come from? Who cares - a wine that stuck two fingers up at all its critics who have ever dismissed this wine. Lovely. (...)"

INFORMATIONS ABOUT THE ESTATE

In 1853, Baron Nathaniel de Rothschild bought Château Brane-Mouton and immediatly renamed it Château Mouton Rothschild.

In 1945, to celebrate the Liberation, Baron Philippe had the imaginative idea of crowing the label for that year's vintage with a suitable design. It was the "V" for Victory, the first in the facinating collection of original works created each year for the Mouton label by famous painters, including Mirò, Chagall, Picasso, Warhol, Bacon,...

In 1973, after a long battle, Baron Philippe finally obtained a revision of the 1855 classification and Mouton was officially recognized as a first growth.
