Tasting note
Tasted blind as a vintage comparison at the Valandraud vertical, the 1999 Mouton-Rothschild is a "useful," perhaps over-looked vintage from the First Growth estate. It has a clean and precise bouquet - you could almost describe this as dainty, which I mean in a positive sense. The fruit is beautifully delineated, almost pastille-like with subtle floral scents emerging with time. The palate is fresh on the entry with supple red berries pierced by a fine line of acidity. No, it is not complex and it has lost a little substance in recent years, yet it is well balanced with sufficient depth and body on the tobacco and cedar-tinged finish. If you can put its status aside, it boils down to nothing more than a well-made, easygoing and refined Pauillac to drink now and over the next decade. Tasted December 2016.

At just over 80 hectares planted to vine, Mouton Rothschild, with its deep gravel soils, preponderance of old-vine Cabernet Sauvignon and distinctive style, is one of Bordeaux's most characterful wines. Today, under technical director Jean-Emmanuel Danjoy (who took the reins after stints at Opus One and Clerc Milon), the estate doesn't rest on its laurels: Mouton now hosts its very own research-and-development department, with its own experimental winery, and all sorts of projects are underway. In the vineyards, canopy management is being adapted on a site-by-site basis, with higher or lower hedging depending on the soils' hydrological profile; cover crops are increasingly part of the estate's strategy; drainage is being optimized in certain parcels; and a massal-selection program, housed in an in-house nursery, has been launched. In the winery, the parcel-by-parcel approach continues.
