EN PRIMEUR Chateau Mouton-Rothschild 1.Cru Classé Pauillac 2024 i trækasse

“97-98 points. This really has length and it has the depth to improve with age” – James Suckling

 “96-98 points. One can clearly see how ruthlessly meticulous Mouton has been in its grape selection. Without such precision, it would be unthinkable to find this level of clarity and ideal ripeness in a rainy vintage like 2024” – Alexandre MA

“96 points. This is just brilliant - fresh, lively, zingy and ample. Lovely finesse too. There’s acidity for sure, but there’s creaminess to counter it. A marvelous Mouton.” – Decanter

“95-97 points. One of the wines of the vintage, if not the wine of the vintage … It's an incredible achievement in the vintage that will need just 4-6 years of bottle age and have a broad, lengthy drinking window. Hats off to technical director Jean-Emmanuel Danjoy and the entire Mouton team.” – Jeb Dunnuck

Årgangens bedste Bordeaux? Jeb Dunnuck er meget tæt på at slå det fast…

Det er ikke mindst i vejrmæssigt udfordrende år som 2024, at venstrebreddens bedste vinslotte for alvor får mulighed for at shine og bevise, hvad al hypen egentlig handler om.

En ekstremt kræsen selektion af perfekt modne druer fra 50 år gamle vinstokke på dybe grusbanker er nøglen til dette fabelagtige blend af 93% Cabernet Sauvignon og 7% Merlot, som i kælderen forkæles 18 mdr. på nye 225 liters barriquefade.

“Full-bodied and smooth, its silky, harmonious texture enfolds the palate, introducing an impression of opulence that mingles with an attractive minerality and some smoky notes. Highly refined, precise and chiselled tannins bring balance and structure, while luminous red berry notes stretch into a long finish, leaving a lingering impression of freshness and elegance.” – Château Mouton Rothschild

97-98/100 James Suckling
“This shows plenty of drive with dusty and creamy tannins that run the length of the wine and builds at the end. It’s medium-bodied showing a focus and energy. Dark currants and flowers flavor. This really has length and it has the depth to improve with age. 93% cabernet sauvignon and 7% merlot.”

“One can clearly see how ruthlessly meticulous Mouton has been in its grape selection. Without such precision, it would be unthinkable to find this level of clarity and ideal ripeness in a rainy vintage like 2024. The warm, toasty aromas of roasted sunflower seeds and almonds smooth the edges of the wine, pressing gently against the palate like graphite polished again and again – quiet in tone, yet full of inner strength. Aromas of dried black plum and fresh blueberry are not ostentatious, but they leave a delicate emotion lingering between lips and tongue. 2024 is not a vintage that dazzles with flamboyant fruit aromas. Instead, it persuades with its elevated texture and quiet depth. In the interplay of light and shadow, the winemaker’s mastery comes through with quiet confidence. In recent years, the estate has become increasingly focused on the purity of Cabernet Sauvignon. In the relatively restrained 2024 vintage, it has chosen to interpret its unique understanding of Cabernet Sauvignon in a near “neoclassical” style: nothing forced, nothing overstated, only a soft-spoken elegance that invites contemplation with every gesture.”

“Sweet blackcurrants, orange rind, violets, plums, cherry cream and some liquorice. Round and filling, this is dense and intense with prominent tannins, a juicy core and lots of structure. It’s forward and really intense with fine, mineral-edged tannins. Sophisticated and really generous, ample and persistent with such a fleshy mouthfeel. Zero wood. This is just brilliant - fresh, lively, zingy and ample. Lovely finesse too. There’s acidity for sure, but there’s creaminess to counter it. A marvelous Mouton. Ageing 100% new barrels, 18 months. 3.71pH.”

96/100 Falstaff
“Dark ruby, opaque core, purple reflections, subtle brightening on the rim. Fine cassis, black cherries, orange blossom, nougat, very inviting bouquet. Full-bodied, black cherries, ripe, silky tannins, structured with finesse, displays a very good length, a balanced, delicate Mouton with 12.9% Vol. alcohol, a real promise for the future. (100% new wood).”

” One of the wines of the vintage, if not the wine of the vintage, the 2024 Château Mouton Rothschild checks in as a blend of 93% Cabernet Sauvignon and 7% Merlot, hitting 12.9% alcohol and a pH of 3.71, that's resting in 100% new barrels. It sports a dense purple hue as well as absolutely rocking aromatics of blackcurrants, freshly sharpened pencils, graphite, and smoked tobacco. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it has a layered, opulent mouthfeel, velvety tannins, ample mid-palate depth, and a great finish. It's an incredible achievement in the vintage that will need just 4-6 years of bottle age and have a broad, lengthy drinking window. Hats off to technical director Jean-Emmanuel Danjoy and the entire Mouton team.”

“Cigar box, flowers, black currants, blackberries, espresso, licorice, spice box, and forest leaves initiate the wine's complex aromatics. On the palate, the wine is almost creamy, exhibiting freshness, energy, length, and purity. This upbeat wine is chalky, complex, and enhanced with sweetness, an array of spices, and more of those juicy, fresh currants in the refreshing, mint-tinged finish. I particularly enjoy the Indian spice notes that emerge at the backend of the finish. The wine consists of 93% Cabernet Sauvignon and 7% Merlot. Only 2010 had a higher percentage of Cabernet in the blend. 12.9% ABV, 3.77 pH. 44.5% of the harvest was placed into the Grand Vin. The harvest took place September 23 - October 5. Drink from 2030-2060.”

”Cedar, but a little less at this early stage then Le Petit Mouton. But is still gives a sense of how this will evolve aromatically. A lovely hint of rose petal too. And redder berry fruits too. But then we find, above all with aeration, cassis, bramble, mulberry and black currant – very, very Cabernet! A little introvert at this stage, this is all about fruit purity. I find this beguiling and enticing in equal measure, incredibly pure, precise, focussed and then crystalline in the mouth. Here we find the darker stone fruits – damson and cherry and a hint of the cedar to come. There’s more density than Le Petit Mouton and more forward momentum too. Impressively substantial, again spherical at the core but pushing into the cheeks, so with considerable amplitude and a density and concentration largely absent elsewhere. Very aerial on the finish with a lovely Cabernet menthol lift. Incredibly long. This feels exceptionally classy and achieves a greatness in a vintage where that is extremely rare. A genuine vin de garde.”
