{"product_id":"chateau-mouton-rothschild-1999-600cl","title":"Château Mouton Rothschild 1999 600CL","description":"\u003cp\u003eChâteau Mouton Rothschild is one of Bordeaux’s true legends, and the 1999 Imperial format makes this already prestigious wine even more special. From Pauillac’s famed gravel slopes, it delivers the depth, power, and refinement that have made Mouton a benchmark for the Left Bank since its rise to Premier Cru Classé status in 1973.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, the 1999 shows a saturated ruby-purple color, still vibrant for its age. The bouquet is classic Mouton: cedar, crème de cassis, wood smoke, coffee, and dried herbs, with an unmistakable sense of polish and complexity.\n\nOn the palate it is forward, lush, and full-bodied, with succulent black fruit wrapped in layered tannins and a long, composed finish. While already generous and harmonious, the tannic structure suggests it can continue to develop additional nuance over time, with mature notes of tobacco, spice, and earthy depth emerging with further aging.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe estate’s vineyards sit on the celebrated gravelly plateau of Pauillac, where deep gravel soils mixed with sand and clay provide excellent drainage and help the vines ripen slowly and evenly. The vineyard is planted primarily to Cabernet Sauvignon, with Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot completing the blend, and the old vines are densely planted to encourage concentration and character.\n\nHarvesting is carried out with meticulous selection, and vinification is managed with the precision expected of a First Growth. Each step, from vineyard work to blending and bottling, is handled by an experienced team using a combination of traditional know-how and modern cellar technology, ensuring the final wine remains true to the estate’s unmistakable style.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a wine for classic, richly flavored dishes such as roast lamb, beef Wellington, venison, or prime rib, as well as truffled dishes and mature hard cheeses. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for at least one to two hours to let the aromatics open and the tannins soften, especially given the Imperial format and the wine’s age.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFounded in 1853 when Baron Nathaniel de Rothschild acquired the estate in Pauillac, Château Mouton Rothschild became one of Bordeaux’s most admired properties under Baron Philippe de Rothschild, who transformed it into an icon of quality, innovation, and style. He pioneered château bottling, expanded the cellars, and began the famous tradition of commissioning artists for the label, helping make Mouton instantly recognizable around the world. Elevated to Premier Cru Classé in 1973, the estate remains one of the region’s most celebrated names, now guided by the Rothschild family’s next generation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Château Mouton Rothschild","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54252015452497,"sku":"FW-401","price":6685.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0874\/0614\/9969\/files\/produkt-grid_139.png?v=1783442817","url":"https:\/\/bottlehero.com\/products\/chateau-mouton-rothschild-1999-600cl","provider":"Bottle Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
