Château Mouton Rothschild 1996

Château Mouton Rothschild 1996 is a classic expression of one of Bordeaux’s most celebrated First Growth estates, offering the depth, structure, and precision that have made Mouton legendary worldwide. This is a wine of pedigree and presence, shaped by a powerful Médoc terroir and a long tradition of excellence that dates back to the mid-19th century.

Makuprofiili
In the glass, the wine shows a deep, concentrated garnet color with only gentle signs of maturity. The bouquet is remarkably expressive, opening with blackcurrant, ripe plum, cassis, roasted coffee, smoky oak, leather, and a subtle savory note that adds complexity. On the palate, it is full-bodied and richly textured, with firm but polished tannins, vibrant fruit, and impressive balance. Layers of dark berry fruit, spice, cedar, and earthy nuances unfold gradually, finishing long and refined. While already showing beautiful development, this vintage has the structure to continue aging gracefully for years to come.

Viininvalmistus
Château Mouton Rothschild is planted on the deep gravel soils of Pauillac, where the stony, well-drained terroir helps Cabernet Sauvignon thrive and gives the wines their power, aromatic complexity, and longevity. The estate’s vineyards are carefully managed with meticulous attention to pruning, canopy work, and grape selection, and the fruit is harvested with great precision to preserve quality. Vinification is carried out with the same exacting standards that define the property, with blending tailored to the character of the vintage before the wine is matured in oak to build structure, finesse, and depth.

Ruoka & tarjoilu
This wine pairs beautifully with premium dishes such as ribeye steak, lamb rack, braised short ribs, duck breast, or game with rich sauces. It also works wonderfully with mature hard cheeses. Serve at around 16–18°C, and decant for at least 1–2 hours if drinking now to allow the aromatics to fully open and the tannins to soften.

Tuottaja
Château Mouton Rothschild, located in Pauillac in the heart of Bordeaux’s Médoc, was acquired by Baron Nathaniel de Rothschild in 1853 and later transformed into one of the world’s most iconic wine estates by Baron Philippe de Rothschild. The château became especially famous for being the first major estate to bottle its own wine at the property and for introducing artist-designed labels, a tradition that continues to set it apart. In 1973, Mouton Rothschild was promoted to Premier Cru Classé, a long-awaited recognition of its exceptional standing and one of the most significant moments in Bordeaux history.
