Château Mouton Rothschild 2017 is a Premier Grand Cru Classé red Bordeaux from the prestigious Pauillac appellation in the Médoc region of France. One of the most celebrated estates in the world, Mouton Rothschild has been under Rothschild family ownership since 1853 and was elevated to First Growth status in the 1855 Classification in 1973. Each vintage label features a commissioned work of art from a renowned artist, making the bottles as collectible as the wine itself.

The 2017 vintage is a standout expression, earning 95 points from critics across 17 reviews. Described as a total knockout, the wine opens with violets, scorched earth, red bell pepper, anise, and crème de cassis on the nose. The palate is soft and seamless with a glorious texture and great sense of underlying tension, finishing full-bodied and rich with excellent aging potential. Decanting for several hours is recommended to fully open this wine. It is approachable now and expected to develop beautifully over the next 25 or more years.

The blend is a classic Bordeaux red comprising predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot, sourced from the estate's gravelly vineyards bordering the Gironde. Pairs beautifully with beef tenderloin, venison, aged cheeses, and fine charcuterie. Sold as a case of three 750ml bottles.
