Product Description
Chateau Mouton Rothschild, Premier Cru Classe, Pauillac
RP "Medium to deep brick in color, the nose of the 1945 Mouton Rothschild is ATOMIC. It explodes from the glass with the most vibrant, spritely black cherry compote, kirsch and raspberry pie notes you can possibly imagine. This is backed up with beautifully fragrant rose oil, dried lavender, fallen leaves and wild mushroom scents, followed by waves of eucalyptus, cigar box, woodsmoke, incense and dark chocolate coming through as it transforms in the glass over the course of 30-45 minutes. The full-bodied palate is rich, decadent and very densely layered, strutting exquisitely ripe, fine-grained, silt-like tannins. The overall character is paradoxical: at once profoundly mature and yet so jaw-droppingly youthful. If this finish does not bring a tear to your eyes, nothing will." Lisa Perrotti-Brown for RP October 2019
VM"This bottle of 1945 Mouton-Rothschild is my fourth encounter and actually showed better than one poured three months earlier that came directly from the château. Ethereal as always on the nose, that distinctive menthol scent is present and correct, and this bottle is perhaps more elegant and almost Burgundian in style. The palate has heavenly balance, quite opulent and velvety, with morello cherry, raspberry preserve, orange pith and a delicate touch of cedar on the never-ending finish. Monumental." Neal Martin for VM December 2019
JA "Mouton 1945 is the most powerful symbol of the end of World War 2 in the world of wine, meaning there is always a huge weight on its shoulders whenever you are lucky enough to be in front of a bottle. I have only had it once before, at Versailles in 2019, and just as with that experience, I can assure you that it takes the expectations that surround it and delivers on them with a smile. Astonishing aromatic complexity, lavendar, thyme, mint, truffle, baking spices, tobacco. Clear power and tannic frame even now, giving way to sweet strawberry puree, campfire smoke and sandalwood after 15 minutes in the glass, with an oyster shell lick on the finish." Jane Anson October 2025
