Château Mouton Rothschild 1993

Château Mouton Rothschild 1993 — Pauillac

This Château Mouton Rothschild 1993 offers a mature and classically Médoc expression of Pauillac. In a vintage marked by a more restrained profile, Mouton Rothschild reveals a wine of elegance, structure and noble evolution, shaped by the depth of Cabernet Sauvignon and the distinctive character of the great gravel soils of the estate.

With more than thirty years of bottle age, the wine now develops a refined aromatic register of blackcurrant, dried cherry, cedar, tobacco leaf, leather, graphite, forest floor, sweet spice and delicate smoky notes. The palate is composed and savoury, with softened tannins, fine persistence and the discreet nobility of a mature Pauillac First Growth.

Terroir: Pauillac, gravel soils and the classical expression of Cabernet Sauvignon

The deep gravel soils of Pauillac provide Cabernet Sauvignon with an ideal setting to express structure, aromatic depth and long ageing capacity. At Château Mouton Rothschild, this terroir gives rise to wines of great distinction, combining dark fruit, mineral notes, firm architecture and the unmistakable elegance of the northern Médoc.
