The 1981 Château Mouton Rothschild exhibits a vivid red color with a slightly brickish-orange tint. The nose expresses a wide range of aromas, mingling cedarwood and black fruit with more complex notes of leather and spice. On the palate, it is medium-bodied, with a brightness to the red berries and cranberry fruits, accompanied by spicebox, cedar, lead pencil, forest floor, and tobacco notes. The finish is long and elegant, with well-integrated tannins.

Château Mouton Rothschild

Chateau Mouton Rothschild a Premier Cru Classé from the Bordeaux region and one of the world's greatest wines is owned by Baroness Philippine de Rothschild. The estate includes 205 acres of vines at Pauillac planted with Cabernet Sauvignon (77%) Merlot (11%) Cabernet Franc (10%) and Petit Verdot (2%). In 1853 Baron Nathaniel de Rothschild bought Chateau Brane-Mouton. In 1922 his great-grandson Baron Philippe de Rothschild (1902-1988) decided to take the future of the estate into his own hands. His 65 years at Mouton bear witness to the strength of his personality his spirit of enterprise and his sense of innovation. In 1922 he was the first to introduce chateau bottling. In 1926 he built the famous Grand Chai the majestic 100-meter first year cellar which has become a major attraction for visitors to Mouton. 1945 marked the start of a fascinating collection of works of art created every year for the Mouton label by famous painters. In 1973 after a twenty-year battle Baron Philippe obtained a revision of the 1855 classification and Mouton was officially recognized as a First Growth. In 1988 Baroness Philippine de Rothschild succeeded her father Baron Philippe. She has become the guarantor of the quality of an illustrious wine whose motto proudly proclaims First I am second I was I Mouton do not change.
