Château Mouton Rothschild 2001 — Pauillac
This Château Mouton Rothschild 2001 embodies a classical, noble and profoundly Médoc expression of Pauillac. An emblematic First Growth, Mouton Rothschild is distinguished by its combination of power, aromatic brilliance and refinement, with a signature shaped by Cabernet Sauvignon, deep gravel soils and highly precise ageing.
The 2001 vintage now offers an elegant, mature and harmonious profile: cassis, blackberry, black cherry, plum, cedar, graphite, blond tobacco, cocoa, liquorice, fine spices, violet, noble leather, delicate forest floor and pencil lead. The wine favours balance, freshness and classical complexity rather than demonstrative opulence.
The spirit of the wine
A mature, refined and beautifully balanced great Pauillac, where time-polished black fruit mingles with cedar, graphite, tobacco and fine spices. Mouton Rothschild 2001 seduces through its classical nobility, velvety texture and long mineral finish, in a restrained, distinguished and deeply Bordeaux style.
Terroir: Pauillac, deep gravel and Cabernet Sauvignon nobility
The terroir of Pauillac rests on deep gravel rises, perfectly suited to Cabernet Sauvignon. At Château Mouton Rothschild, this foundation gives wines of great structure, capable of developing notes of cassis, cedar, graphite, tobacco, spices and noble leather over time. The 2001 vintage expresses this identity in a classical, precise and highly elegant register.
Tasting notes
Appearance: deep garnet with dark ruby reflections, still well sustained in fine bottles, slowly evolving towards more brick-toned nuances depending on storage.
Nose: noble and complex, with cassis, blackberry, black cherry, plum, cedar, graphite, pencil lead, blond tobacco, cocoa, liquorice, fine spices, violet and delicate leather.
Palate: straight, fresh and velvety, with time-polished black fruit, melted yet still present tannins and fine persistence. The finish is long, mineral, lightly spicy and very Médoc in character, with an impression of elegant maturity and great poise.
Aromatic profile
Fruit: cassis, blackberry, black cherry, plum, time-polished black fruits.
Ageing and evolution: cedar, blond tobacco, cocoa, liquorice, noble leather, fine spices.
Terroir: graphite, pencil lead, violet, delicate forest floor, mineral freshness and persistent finish.
Expression of the 2001 vintage
The 2001 vintage in Bordeaux offers wines of classical style, often appreciated for their freshness, balance and harmonious evolution. In Pauillac, the great growths are straight, elegant and structured, with fine tertiary complexity after more than two decades of ageing. This Mouton Rothschild 2001 is now entering a refined phase of maturity, while retaining fine stature.
In summary: a mature, noble and remarkably classical Château Mouton Rothschild 2001, driven by the depth of Pauillac, the freshness of the vintage and the prestigious signature of this First Growth.
Food pairing: rack of lamb, beef fillet, veal chop, roast duck, game birds, mushrooms, black truffle, mature cheeses or classical Médoc cuisine.
