Chteau Mouton Rothschild spans 90 hectares (222 acres) of vines to the north-west of Bordeaux, on the edge of the Mdoc peninsula, itself situated, as its name indicates, in medio aquae, amid the waters: those of the Gironde estuary to the east and of the Atlantic Ocean to the west.

Of course, by their very nature, 1st Growths should firmly be amongst the very best of any year and Mouton is naturally right up there. Theyve only used 44.5% of the harvest for the Grand Vin, meaning production is way down and this is the second-highest proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon used in a Mouton Rothschild (only 2010 had higher), showing the propensity for better ripeness in Cabernet in this area of the left bank in 2024, and it is this very high proportion which has lent itself well for adding structure, body and tannin in what has for some been a rather light vintage.

Being one of the most-loved wines in the world thanks to its unwavering commitment to excellence aside, the unique label each year makes releases collectors items. Whilst the 2024 label will not be revealed until next year, there are few more beautiful sights in a cellar than an extensive set of Moutons, spanning a multitude of vintages, on display!

Mouton have pulled out all the stops to craft a clearly delicious wine and one to enjoy perhaps sooner than the behemoth vintages of late.
