Château Mouton Rothschild 2016 (6 BT)

Château Mouton Rothschild 2016 

Pauillac, 1er Cru Classé

Cabernet Sauvignon 83%, Merlot 15%, Cabernet Franc 1%, Petit Verdot 1%. In 2021, a gloriously cassis nose, aromatic and punchy - and pure Pauillac First Growth! On the palate, the 'blackcurrant juice' is quite 'feminine' for Mouton, in its charm allied to power, and then comes the flesh and depth. A tremendously constructed wine, with every aspect in place and at its apogee, be it tannins, fruit, harmony or freshness. This has the balance to last decades - undoubtedly one of the greats. Serena Sutcliffe, MW

Celebrating the life and tastes of an oenophile, this beautiful collection comes to auction from a single, purpose-built and temperature-controlled private cellar in the South of Europe. All the wines were directly purchased from one of the most prestigious, reputable and highly-respected merchants in Bordeaux. The Classic taste of the late owner is obvious, with an impressive depth of Cru Classé Bordeaux on offer from the 1990s to 2010s, with an extensive representation across First Growths to Fifth Growths, together with an outstanding representation of some of the greatest Crus recently produced in Saint-Emilion and Pomerol. Beyond Bordeaux, we glimpse more of the collector’s tastes with a small selection of Super Tuscans and iconic Californian gems. Great vintages are a gift from Mother Nature and this collection has assembled some of the best wines produced in Bordeaux for the past decade in tremendous quantities with a large variety of formats from half bottles to double magnums. This is a cellar to satisfy every wine lover from all over the world.
