Château Mouton Rothschild 2011

Harvest:

12 to 28 September

Varietal mix:

Cabernet Sauvignon 90%, Merlot 7%, Cabernet Franc 3%

Tasting notes:

The colour is intense, a dark red with brilliant highlights.

The supremely elegant nose displays red fruit aromas with touches of spice.

On the palate, a smooth, creamy attack yields powerful, velvet tannins. The roundness is remarkable, giving the wine very attractive length.

The finish reveals vanilla and chocolate aromas, with pleasant floral notes.

A very fine, classic Mouton and a great success in a tricky vintage.
