Caisse Mouton Rothschild 1999 2000 2001

The wine

En 1999, c’est Raymond Savignac qui réalise l’illustration de cet assemblage de 78% de cabernet sauvignon, 18% de merlot et 4% de cabernet franc. Après plus de vingt ans en bouteille, ce millésime présente une robe évoluée, légèrement orangé, un nez de fruits noirs, de tabac et d’épices. La bouche fraîche et onctueuse annonce une finale fruitée d’une très belle longueur.
Seuls cabernet sauvignon et merlot s’associent pour le millésime 2000, orné du bélier d’Augsbourg, emblème de Mouton Rothschild. Cette année plus chaude donne naissance à un vin ouvert et complexe, au bouquet de fruits confits et de sous-bois. La bouche d’un beau volume dévoile des notes de fruits mûrs et de torréfaction, avant une finale puissante et charnue.
2001 enfin allie les trois cépages bordelais dans un ensemble complexe et riche en arômes, au bouquet de myrtille, de cuir et de fourrure. Des tannins enrobés structurent une bouche fraîche et aromatique, s’allongeant en une finale d’une belle persistance.
Un coffret idéal pour comprendre l’influence du millésime sur ce vin de légende.

Information about domain Château Mouton Rothschild

Baron Nathaniel de Rothschild acquired the château in 1853, but the legend of Mouton did not really begin until 1922 with Baron Philippe de Rothschild. At the age of 21, full of ambition and original ideas, he decided to devote his life to forging the wine's identity and its international reputation, which, from the very beginning also had an effect on the image of Bordeaux's wines as a whole. In 1924, faced with the numerous irregular practices of Bordeaux's wine merchants, he inaugurated the bottled at the château guarantee. In 1945, to celebrate the Liberation, a V for victory crowned the label for that vintage, an initiative which marked the beginning of a series of original works created each year for the label by a famous artist. In 1973, even though no change had ever been made to the 1855 classification, Baron Philippe obtained - not without some difficulty - a revision that officially made Mouton one of Bordeaux's elite Premier Grands Crus Classés. On his death in 1998, his daughter Philippine took over the reins, assisted by an unparalleled technical team, and successfully continued her father's projects until her death in 2014. Today, her three children, Camille Sereys de Rothschild, Philippe Sereys de Rothschild and Julien de Beaumarchais de Rothschild run the estate together.
