Château Mouton Rothschild 2004

Château Mouton Rothschild 2004 is a classic and elegant expression from one of Pauillac’s most celebrated First Growth estates. Born from a cooler, more traditional Bordeaux vintage, it delivers remarkable balance, finesse, and the kind of longevity that has made Mouton a benchmark for collectors and serious Bordeaux lovers alike. The 2004 vintage is also notable for its striking label artwork by His Royal Highness Prince Charles, created to commemorate the centenary of the Entente Cordiale.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, the wine shows a deep ruby color and a refined, aristocratic bouquet of blackcurrant, black cherry, cedar, cigar box, and graphite. With air, it gradually reveals more layered notes of dark chocolate, coffee, leather, and exotic spice, adding depth and complexity without losing its classic Pauillac identity. The palate is precise and polished, with silky tannins wrapped around dark berry fruit, tobacco, and a distinct mineral edge. It has the signature Mouton combination of power and elegance, though in a more restrained, terroir-driven style than richer vintages such as 2009 or 2010. The finish is long and composed, leaving lingering impressions of cedar, moka, and graphite. While already beautifully mature, it still has the structure to develop further over several more years.

Production
Château Mouton Rothschild is located in Pauillac, on Bordeaux’s Left Bank, where gravelly soils and excellent drainage help Cabernet Sauvignon achieve exceptional ripeness and structure. The 2004 vintage reflects a more classical Bordeaux growing season, contributing freshness, balance, and finesse to the final blend. Harvesting is carried out with meticulous precision, and vinification is handled to preserve purity, complexity, and the estate’s hallmark texture.

Food & Serving
This is a superb match for roast lamb, beef fillet, duck breast, game birds, or dishes with earthy components such as mushrooms and truffle. It also pairs beautifully with aged hard cheeses. Serve at around 16–18°C, and decanting for 1 to 2 hours is recommended if drinking now to allow the wine to fully open.
