Wine Enthusiast, June 2022

(WE 95–97 points) Big, rich and sumptuously smoky, this has density and power. Its blackberry tones are structured, with a core of tannins. This very fine wine has all the classic attributes of a Mouton, just slightly...

Gorgeous deep pink purple rim to the glass. The nose is bright and intense, heady with perfumed aromatics and edges of graphite, cocoa and sweet red cherries. Such clarity on the palate, excellent tension from the get go...

The Wine Independent, April 2024

(96+ points) A blend of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, and 1% Cabernet Franc, the 2021 Mouton Rothschild has a deep garnet-purple color. It is very closed to start, slowly unfurling to reveal notes of ripe black...

Vinous, February 2024

The 2021 Mouton Rothschild is gorgeous, just as it was en primeur. A wine of stature and vertical build, the 2021 is wonderfully poised from the outset. Beams of tannin add to an impression of explosive lift. Touches of...

As to the Grand Vin 2021 Château Mouton Rothschild, this beauty is in the running for one of the wines of the vintage, and it brings more depth, richness, and texture than just about anything else in the Médoc. A blend of...

The 2021 Mouton-Rothschild Bordeaux Blend is a notable wine from the Pauillac sub-region of Bordeaux, France. This vintage, produced by Mouton-Rothschild, is characterized by its rich, multi-layered profile and a pronounced structure. Composed primarily of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, and 1% Cabernet Franc, it has an alcohol content of 13.0% and is sealed with a cork.

The wine has received high praise from several esteemed reviewers. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, with William Kelley commenting, awarded it a score of 94, noting its "rich aromas of dark berries and minty cassis mingled with espresso roast, dark chocolate, smoked meats and toasty new oak." Kelley further described the wine as "full-bodied, rich, and layered," emphasizing its muscular and multidimensional palate.

Jane Anson, scoring the wine at 95, highlighted its "inky depths" and "sweetened black cherry, damson, and cassis fruit." Anson appreciated its "generosity" and classic Mouton character, despite the vintage's challenges. She mentioned it was the first vintage overseen entirely by Jean-Emmanuel Danjoy after Philippe Dhalluin's retirement.

Jeff Leve of TheWineCellarInsider.com gave the wine a score range of 95-97, describing it as "deep garnet with purple accents around the rim." Leve praised its "incredible polish, plushness, and supple textures," and emphasized its balance and complexity. He noted that it is "focused on its purity, energy, and refined, silky tannins," suggesting it will be ready to drink within a decade and will evolve for 20-30 years.

Jeb Dunnuck also awarded it 95 points, calling it "one of the wines of the vintage." He praised its "depth, richness, and texture," and noted its "powerful aromatics of spicy black fruits, leafy tobacco, graphite, and freshly sharpened pencils."

James Suckling, Decanter, Vinous, and Wine Enthusiast also offered high scores, ranging from 96 to 97. Suckling mentioned its "powerful tannin frame" and "velvety texture," while Decanter highlighted its "bright and intense" nose and "beautifully expressed cherry and strawberry fruit." Vinous' Antonio Galloni described it as "gorgeous" with "imposing" stature, and Wine Enthusiast's Roger Voss praised its "density and power."

In summary, the 2021 Mouton-Rothschild is a highly acclaimed wine known for its complexity, balance, and rich, layered profile. It is expected to age gracefully and remain impressive for decades.
