- Producer tasting notes: (2007 vintage) "The wine has an intense garnet hue with glittering highlights. All the depth and refinement of Cabernet Sauvignon is expressed on the nose in aromas of vanilla, bitter almond and nutmeg, with subtle mineral notes on airing. Very supple on the palate, this Mouton Rothschild displays perfect harmony on a linear structure that combines tannic heft with a pleasant minty freshness. The finish is complex, ending on spicy and very ripe fruit flavours. A great success for the vintage, the blend makes the most of two fully mature grape varieties, combining the body and complexity of Cabernet with the depth of flavour of Merlot." - Chateau Mouton Rothschild

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.

Vintage Notes: From budbreak through ripening to harvest, meticulous care was lavished on the 2007 vintage in order to bring the grapes to maturity in good condition. After a relatively wet winter which allowed water reserves to accumulate, budbreak began in early April. Early vegetation growth was encouraged by exceptionally dry and warm weather (16.4 mm of rain and 16° C, compared with an average of 11.7° C). Flowering took place for all three varieties around 26 May, fifteen days earlier than the average, presaging an early harvest, as in 1989 and 2003. Relatively cool weather during the summer slowed the development of the crop, but an exceptionally hot and dry September enabled the grapes to reach full phenological maturity. Harvesting began on 26 September with the Merlot and ended on 11 October with the Cabernet Sauvignon. The grapes were in good condition, with thick skins rich in tannins and anthocyans.

93 / 100 Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider

2007 Vintage Tasted: Nov 2017

Lacking the depth and opulence found in the best years, the wine exchanges concentration and complexity for a medium bodied, correct, early drinking Pauillac, with a real Bordeaux character. At 10, this is already a charmer. However, it is a not a wine for extended cellaring. If you have a bottle, pop a cork over the next 3-8 years, to get the most out of the wine. 93 Points

? / 100 James Suckling

2007 Vintage Tasted: Nov 2015

This Mouton is starting to show the complexity of an aged Mouton with truffles, dried strawberries and cherries. Full body, firm tannins and flavors of sous bois and mushrooms, which make this really quite sexy. Better in a year or two but so complete now.

About James Suckling

95 / 100 Wine Enthusiast

2007 Vintage Tasted: Jan 2010

The wood element is important here, but it is based on a firm Cabernet Sauvignon structure, dry but rich tannins. The wine is a great success for the vintage, giving sweetness, ripe fruit that only shows light extraction, and dark plum and berry flavors. The feeling is of polished fruit and wood, rounded but always dense.

About Wine Enthusiast

91 / 100 Falstaff

2007 Vintage Tasted: May 2008

Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, jugendliche Reflexe, violetter Rand. In der Nase zart rauchig unterlegte dunkle Beerenfrucht, etwas Cassis und Orangenzesten, mineralische Komponenten. Am Gaumen saftig und komplex, gute Struktur mit festen Tanninen, wiederum sehr mineralisch, bleibt gut haften, zarte Weichselnote im Nachhall, gute Länge. Im Moment ist noch alles von einer schwarzen Holznote umrahmt, die natürlich noch ein wenig bitter wirkt, mit dem weiteren Fassausbau aber verschwinden wird.

About Falstaff

96 / 100 Gilbert & Gaillard

2007 Vintage Tasted: May 2008

Expressive, spicy nose with a core of black fruit, blackcurrant and rasperry, accompanied by a cedar note. The fleshy, full bodied palate is well balanced and structured by solid tannins. A successful vintage and an outstanding wine.

Excellent

2007 Vintage Saved: 3-Sep-2023

Beautifully dark cherry red. Not your typical MR, roasted almonds, sweet red fruit, very refined, gun powder, gorgeous! Mouth-filling, black current, roasted oak, sweet tannines, slightly timid at first, opening up after 30min, hence decanting necessary!
