Chateau Mouton Rothschild 2002
Introduction
Château Mouton Rothschild 2002 is an esteemed First Growth red wine from the Pauillac appellation in Bordeaux, France. The estate has been under the ownership of the Rothschild family since 1853, when Baron Nathaniel de Rothschild renamed it from Château Brane-Mouton. Under the visionary leadership of Baron Philippe de Rothschild and later his daughter Baroness Philippine, the winery became world renowned not only for its liquid excellence but also for its tradition of featuring original artwork on every label since 1945. The 2002 vintage features a striking label titled 'OKHO' (Window) by Russian-born artist Ilya Kabakov.
Wine Description
This vintage presents a clear and glittering ruby red of remarkable intensity. The aromatic profile is complex and refined, opening with generous animal notes that evolve into fruit aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, and cherry liqueur, interwoven with hints of tobacco, cedar, graphite, and toasted oak. On the palate, the wine is medium to full bodied with a dense, powerful structure and firm, well-rounded tannins. It displays a beautiful balance between rich fruit and savory nuances of mocha and spice, leading to a long, stylish finish marked by notes of dark chocolate. The varietal composition for 2002 is approximately 77-78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot, 9-10% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Petit Verdot. While currently in its optimal drinking window, its exceptional structure allows for continued aging through 2035-2045.
