Château Mouton Rothschild 2005

Château Mouton Rothschild 2005 is a benchmark expression of Bordeaux’s First Growth heritage, crafted from an exceptional vintage and adorned with Giuseppe Penone’s striking artwork. Penone’s 2005 label design, featuring a hand intertwined with vine leaves, symbolizes the deep connection between humanity and nature—a perfect parallel to the artistry behind this wine.

The 2005 vintage is regarded as one of Bordeaux's greatest, marked by ideal growing conditions. A dry, warm season with cool nights resulted in small, concentrated berries of exceptional quality, yielding wines with unparalleled depth, structure, and aging potential. Meticulously crafted at the Pauillac estate, this wine exemplifies Château Mouton Rothschild’s dedication to producing world-class Bordeaux blends that are both powerful and elegant.

Appearance: Deep garnet with a radiant ruby core, reflecting its concentration and aging potential.

Nose: A complex bouquet of blackcurrant, dark cherry, and cassis, accented by cedar, cigar box, and earthy undertones. Hints of graphite, leather, and floral notes add remarkable depth.

Palate: Full-bodied and layered, showcasing velvety tannins and a rich core of dark fruit flavors. A seamless balance of freshness and intensity is supported by a refined mineral backbone, leading to an enduring, elegant finish.
