13 May 2022 ? A firm and compact Mouton with a powerful tannin frame for the vintage yet it remains fine and precise as it opens to a velvety texture. Black fruit with tar pencil lead and tobacco. Driven and firm. A little angular and tight at the moment. 89% cabernet sauvignon 10% merlot and 1% cabernet franc.
Wine Advocate: 95-96 Points
The 2021 Mouton Rothschild is a terrific wine in the making unfurling in the glass with aromas of cherries and wild berries mingled with notions of violets espresso roast pipe tobacco and mint. Medium to full-bodied deep and seamless it's a layered enveloping wine that's ample and concentrated with succulent acids melting tannins and a long resonant finish. A blend of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon 10% Merlot and 1% Cabernet Franc that attained 13.1% alcohol this is a demonstrative sensual Mouton that's the fruit of extreme selection and that may well make my score seem conservative with further élevage. Bravo to the talented Jean-Emmanuel Danjoy and his team.

The 2021 Mouton
Jane Anson: 95 Points
Jewel-ruby in colour crystalline reflections. This is less exuberant than a usual Mouton more of a classic Pauillac with intensity and depth through the palate. Plenty of grip and length with rich layers of raspberry and blackberry fruits and curls of gunsmoke liqourice and cocoa bean giving hints of a more generous wine that should be released further over ageing. Focused and supple. 100% new oak. 3.73ph 59IPT 41hl/h yield. Harvest September 25 until October 6. The first vintage where it was Jean-Emmauel Danjoy from beginning to end after Philippe Dhalluin's retiremement. 41% of overall production in Mouton. Strong candidate for an upscore in bottle.

The 2021 Mouton Rothschild is composed of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon 10% Merlot and 1% Cabernet Franc harvested from 25 September to 6 October and aging in 100% new oak. Deep purple-black colored it needs a little swirling to unlock classic notions of warm cassis pencil shavings and ripe black plums leading to hints of lavender cracked black pepper and crushed rocks. Light to medium-bodied the palate is tightly wound with layers of black fruits and mineral undertones framed by fine-grained tannins and bags of freshness finishing on a lingering iron ore note. pH 3.73. IPT 59.
