Château Mouton Rothschild 2016 is an exceptional wine from the renowned Pauillac appellation in the Médoc sub-region of Bordeaux, France. This red wine is predominantly crafted from Cabernet Sauvignon, often blended with Merlot and small amounts of Cabernet Franc or Petit Verdot, renowned for its complexity and aging potential. The 2016 vintage benefited from ideal weather conditions, resulting in wines with balanced acidity, ripe tannins, and rich flavours. The terroir, characterised by its gravelly soil atop a limestone bed, contributes to its distinctive minerality and elegance. Château Mouton Rothschild, with its illustrious history dating back to the 19th century, is celebrated for producing wines of grandeur and finesse, consistently recognised for their quality and luxurious character.
For pairing, Château Mouton Rothschild 2016 shines alongside dishes featuring robust flavours. Consider a classic pairing with a rack of lamb, seasoned with herbs such as rosemary and thyme, which enhances the wine's savoury and herbal notes. Alternatively, a beef Wellington, with its rich, earthy flavours, complements the depth and structure of the wine. For a traditional regional pairing, you could opt for a Bordelaise entrecôte, a steak with a red wine and shallot sauce, creating a harmonious balance with the wine's full-bodied nature and ripe fruit profile.
When serving this prestigious wine, aim for a temperature of around 16-18°C. Decanting for at least one to two hours is recommended to allow the wine to open up, revealing its intricate layers of aroma and flavour. Begin your tasting by observing the wine's deep ruby hue, then take in its bouquet, rich with aromas of dark berries, cedar, and subtle smoky notes. On the palate, savour the harmonious blend of ripe fruit, velvety tannins, and lingering finish. This wine promises an opulent and memorable tasting experience, reflecting its noble origin.
