Chateau Mouton Rothschild Premier Cru Classe 1976

The 1976 Château Mouton Rothschild presents a remarkably graceful maturity, revealing the hallmarks of a warm vintage that has evolved with poise. On the nose, notes of cedar‑tinged blackberry mingle with leather, pressed violet petals and a hint of cigar box. The attack is supple yet structured, unfurling layers of blackcurrant, dark cherry compote and a faint suggestion of truffle and sous‑bois. Firm, polished tannins lend the mid‑palate a gentle grip, while vibrant acidity keeps the wine lively and focused. The finish lingers on mineral‑driven nuances of graphite and a whisper of tobacco leaf, underscoring the estate’s signature Pauillac terroir even after decades in bottle.
