ABOUT THIS WINE
The 2017 Chteau Mouton-Rothschild is composed of a blend of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot, and 2% Petit Verdot, with Cabernet Sauvignon playing the dominant role in the blend, providing the wine with structure and aging potential. The grapes were hand-harvested and carefully sorted to ensure only the best fruit was used in the final blend. After fermentation, the wine underwent malolactic fermentation in barrel, followed by 18 months of aging in 100% new French oak barrels. The 2017 vintage was marked by a challenging growing season, with a cool, wet spring followed by a warm summer. However, the weather conditions improved during the harvest, allowing the grapes to reach full ripeness and balance. The result is a wine that, while more restrained than some other recent vintages, showcases the classic Mouton-Rothschild elegance and complexity, with a beautiful expression of its Pauillac origins.
