Producer
Château Mouton Rothschild, one of Bordeaux’s five Premier Cru Classé estates, is celebrated worldwide for its grandeur and artistry. The combination of Pauillac’s unique terroir and Mouton’s tradition of commissioning artist-designed labels ensures each vintage is both a fine wine and a collectible masterpiece.
Vineyard
Located on the “Plateau de Mouton” in Pauillac, the vineyards are planted primarily to Cabernet Sauvignon, thriving in deep gravel soils over a limestone base. For the 2005 vintage, the blend reflects the estate’s strength and elegance: 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Merlot, and 1% Cabernet Franc.
Vintage
2005 is widely hailed as one of the greatest Bordeaux vintages of modern times. A long, dry summer with abundant sunshine and cool nights allowed the grapes to ripen slowly and perfectly, producing wines with exceptional concentration, balance, and aging potential.
Tasting Notes
The 2005 Mouton Rothschild presents an opaque ruby-purple color. The bouquet is complex and expressive, with blackcurrant, cassis, cedar, tobacco, graphite, and subtle truffle notes. The palate is full-bodied, dense, and powerful, with layers of dark fruit, chocolate, and spice. Its tannins are firm yet polished, providing a structured backbone for decades of aging. The finish is long, harmonious, and majestic—classic Pauillac at its finest.
Label Art
The 2005 label was designed by Italian artist Giuseppe Penone, a prominent figure in the Arte Povera movement. His artwork, featuring a vine trunk merging with a human form, symbolizes the deep connection between man, nature, and the vine—echoing the timeless bond between terroir and wine.
