Description
This has more dimension with an alluring fruit compôte bouquet, yet a more graphite-driven palate that heads towards something quite serious. There is a sense of composure and control about this wine, a good representation of the success of the Mouton stable this year. This is friendly and accessible, yet simultaneously studious. Drink 2025-2038.

Pauillac
The aristocrat of the Médoc boasts 75 percent of the region’s First Growths, with Grand Cru Classés representing 84 percent of production. Pauillac's First Growths each have their own unique characteristics: Ch. Lafite Rothschild produces the region’s most aromatically-complex and subtly-flavoured wine, while – with its high percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon – Ch. Mouton Rothschild can produce a decadently rich, fleshy and exotic wine.
