Tasting note
Tasted at the Mouton-Rothschild vertical in London, the 2008 Mouton Rothschild has always been in the shadow of the ensuing couple of vintages, but I was not the only person at this tasting that commented upon the class in show here. It replicated previous showings: cedar and graphite present and correct, though accompanied by something a little more exotic - eucalyptus maybe? The palate is beautifully balanced, very detailed and extremely fresh. This conveys so much energy and animation before reverting towards a more classic and structured, pencil lead finish. Those in the know will stash up on the 2008 Mouton Rothschild because it is destined to turn into one of the "dark horses" of the decade. Tasted May 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.
