Description
Blend: 70% Cabernet Sauvignon; 15% Merlot; 13% Cabernet Franc; 2% Petit Verdot.
With 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, this represents not only the style of Left Bank Bordeaux in 2023, but also the changes and investment here, as part of the Ch. Mouton Rothschild portfolio. Technical director Lucie Lauilhé has made a statement of intent in defining the future direction of the wine. It is pure, tight and precise – the epitome of 2023’s best Cabernet Sauvignon. There is still the old-vine Cabernet Franc providing lift and perfume, and there is still the slightly sinewy twist in the mid-palate. But this is also a more articulate expression of its terroir than before. It is admirable and impressive.
