A Toast to History and Art
The year 2004 marked the centenary of the Entente Cordiale, a diplomatic agreement that strengthened ties between Great Britain and France. Seeking a unique way to commemorate this event, Chateau Mouton Rothschild entrusted the label design to a renowned figure: King Charles III, then Prince Charles, known for his passion for art and his deep appreciation for French culture.
King Charles choseto portray a serene French landscape. With vibrant washes of watercolours, he captured the essence of Pauillac rolling hills bathed in sunlight, verdant vineyards stretching towards the horizon, and a peaceful river meandering through the countryside. Each stroke exudes a sense of tranquillity and harmony.
Vintage/Vineyard Notes:
Exceptional 2004 vintage:characterized by a long,warm summer and dry,sunny autumn,resulting in ripe, high-quality grapes.
Prime Pauillac location:deep gravel soils and perfect sun exposure,ideal for cultivating Cabernet Sauvignon, the dominant grape in Mouton Rothschild wines.
Winemaking:
Traditional methods:meticulous hand-harvesting,sorting,gentle fermentation, and aging in oak barrels for 18-24 months.
Classic blend:69% Cabernet Sauvignon,15% Merlot,13% Cabernet Franc,and 3% Petit Verdot, showcasing the unique character of the vintage and Pauillac terroir.
Critics’ Reviews:
18 Points – Jancis Robinson MW:“An extremely distinctive wine – almost mid Atlantic rather than Pauillac and therefore of course very winning. Very dark purple. Hidden, deep-flavoured nose. Some rather sweet notes – even ripe Merlot notes which dominate at the moment. Very smooth and flattering in texture with real polish – very supple tannins with lots of fruit on the front palate. Not nearly as dry as one would expect of a first growth Pauillac – almost a hint of Opus One in texture? No hint of oak. Very interesting and not at all severe. Drink 2015-30.“
