CHÂTEAU MOUTON ROTHSCHILD 2008 – 1st Grand Cru Classé, Pauillac

Château Mouton Rothschild 2008 is a classic expression of a great Pauillac Premier Grand Cru Classé, combining precision, structure, and the refined power typical of the estate.

The 2008 vintage benefited from a long and steady growing season, allowing for slow and balanced ripening of the grapes, resulting in a wine of great purity and a very classic Bordeaux style.

Wine style

A structured and elegant Pauillac, marked by controlled power, a fine tannic framework, and a highly precise aromatic expression.

Aromatic profile

Blackcurrant and dark fruits
Cedar and graphite notes
Hints of tobacco and spice
Fine and elegant oak

Palate

Firm yet refined tannins, fresh balance, and a straight, well-defined structure. The finish is long, persistent, and harmonious.

Overall style

A great ageing Bordeaux, classic and refined, expressing the finesse and precision of a cooler, more traditional vintage, with excellent ageing potential.

Food pairing

Ideal with:

roasted red meats
lamb
game
mature cheeses

A wine built for ageing, now starting to reveal its complexity while continuing to evolve gracefully in the cellar.

The estate is rooted in deep gravel soils, particularly well suited to Cabernet Sauvignon, the dominant grape variety of the vineyard. These terroirs play a key role in the structure, power, and longevity of the wines produced.

The vineyard is managed with great precision, thanks to strict parcel selection and careful work at every stage, from the vineyard to bottling.

The estate is also renowned for its strong artistic identity: each vintage is associated with a label designed by a contemporary artist, making each wine both a viticultural and cultural creation.

The château’s wines are sought after for their intensity, aromatic complexity, and exceptional ageing potential.
