- Second label of Chateau Mouton-Rothschild. Labeled as 'Le second vin de Mouton Rothschild' for 1993 vintage only.
  
  Expert tasting note: (2022 vintage) "Deep, dark red-purple color, with a vivid purple rim. The aromas are tight & a touch reduced. The palate shows concentrated, juicy mulberry & raspberry fruit overlaid by exotic spices (cinnamon & clove). The mid-palate has coffee & mocha notes. Alcohol is balanced but helps give the initially supple tannins some grip at the finish. The finish is long & combines fresh juicy dark fruit with notes of exotic spices." - 04/23 DCAMW

About the Product

Drinking Window: 2027 - 2050

Analytical Data

Alcohol ABV: 14.2%
Sweetness: Dry
Acidity pH: 3.86

Production Attributes

Maturation: Oaked
Oak Type: French
Winemaker: Philippe and Julien, Camille Sereys de Rothschild
Harvest date: 1 September - 26 September
Closure Type: Cork
Vineyard Notes: The Château Mouton Rothschild vineyard, mostly situated on a hillock called the “Plateau de Mouton” which rises to 27m above sea-level, is planted on very deep gravelly soil with the varieties typical of the region: Cabernet Sauvignon (81%), Merlot (15%), Cabernet Franc (3%) and Petit Verdot (1%). These proportions are not reflected identically in the wine, because the blend varies according to the character of each vintage. However, Cabernet Sauvignon always predominates: it is Cabernet Sauvignon that gives Mouton its rich tannins, its wealth of aroma and flavour and its ageing capacity, while Merlot, an inseparable companion, brings suppleness, roundness and exceptional length. As with other top Médoc wines, the vineyard is densely planted – 10,000 vines per hectare – and the average age of the vines is around 44 years.

2022 Vintage Tasted: May 2025

When to drink: 2028 to 2050

Deep garnet-purple colored, it features evocative cassis and black cherry preserves scents, giving way to a very pretty perfume of lilac, cinnamon stick, and licorice. The medium to full-bodied palate delivers mouth-coating blackberry preserves flavors with beautifully ripe tannins and compelling freshness, finishing long and perfumed.

Dunkelfruchtig, rauchig, Süssholz, Cassis, eine wunderbare Frucht; schon jetzt am Gaumen zugänglich, vollmundig, runde, reife Tannine, satte Frucht, grossartige Länge; Ein sehr grosser kleiner Mouton...(Trinken von 2030 bis 2055)

2022 Vintage Tasted: Jan 2025

A really flamboyant wine beginning with lots of berries, plums, asphalt and orange peel before turning to blue fruits. Full-bodied and medium round tannins give a softness and drinkability. Long finish. Give it three to four years to come together but already gorgeous. Hard not to drink now.

92-94 Barrel sample. Mouton's second wine is powerful and dense, with some powerful tannins. Dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, the wine is certainly rich and concentrated.

Wurde seinem Namen vielleicht noch nie so gut gerecht: fleischig, saftig, Klassetannin, ideale Balance, nur die leichte Alkoholspitze und der Hauch Eiche erinnern an den Zweitwein.

2022 Vintage Tasted: May 2023

Flowers, cherry pipe-tobacco, black raspberry, spearmint, black cassis, and plums open the perfume. On the palate, the wine is lush, fresh, sweet, spicy, pure, and rich, with a vibrant, long deep, black and blue fruit and tobacco packed finish. This is Jr. Mouton Rothschild! The wine blends 71% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19.% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot.14.2% ABV, 3.86 pH. Drink from 2024-2045.

2022 Vintage Tasted: Apr 2023

When to drink: 2025 to 2030

Super full and complete with great energy and spiciness. Linear structure, firm mid-pal ate, a style shift since 2016 from more rounded and generous profile of PM, towards a more elegant and refreshing profile. Progressively finish.

2022 Vintage Tasted: Apr 2023

Joli nez frais, intense et qui offre une belle finesse, de l’ampleur ainsi qu’une belle puissance du grain. C’est tout en maîtrise avec un fin côté velouté. On y retrouve des notes de petites baies noires mûres/fraîches, de mûre sauvage et plus légèrement de prune fraîche sauvage associées à des touches de petites baies rouges ainsi qu’à des pointes de lys frais, de safran frais, à de fines pointes de bâton de réglisse ainsi qu’à une subtile pointe de rose et de tabac en fond. La bouche est fraîche, harmonieuse et offre de la minéralité, de l’équilibre, de l’onctuosité, une trame minérale/ fraîche confère, de la justesse, de la suavité ainsi qu’un côté aérien voire faussement « léger ». Il y a de la rondeur, du gras et un certain pulpeux. En bouche ce vin exprime des notes de prune violette juteuse/pulpeuse, de cassis éclatant et plus légèrement de violette associées à des touches de framboise écrasée ainsi qu’à des pointes de graphite, de fève tonka, de muscade, de tabac blond et une subtile note d’iris. Les tannins sont fins, élégants, nombreux et discrètement moelleux. Il y a une jolie tension et de la fraîcheur. Très belle longueur en bouche. Présence d’un petit côté infusion que l’on retrouve au nez et en bouche.

2022 Vintage Tasted: Jan 2023

Deep dark ruby, opaque core, purple reflections. Delicate wood spice, black forest berries, hints of nougat and plums. Good complexity, nuances of cassis, a touch of blackberries, fine acidity, integrated, supporting tannins, a touch of salt, citrus nuances on the finish, already approachable.

Vintage quality: Excellent (Legendary)

Current condition: Will keep

The 2022 vintage for Bordeaux looks set to be surprisingly good, despite the perilous growing season.

The winter was cool but dry and remained so as temperatures crept up throughout the spring, allowing for both an early and successful budburst and flowering....
