2002 Chateau Mouton Rothschild – First Growth Pauillac Elegance

The 2002 Chateau Mouton Rothschild captures the classic character of Pauillac in a cooler vintage. As one of Bordeaux’s five First Growth estates, Mouton Rothschild consistently produces wines of grandeur, marked by depth, complexity, and artistry. The 2002 is no exception—graceful, structured, and entering a beautiful plateau of maturity.

Tasting Notes

Aromas of blackcurrant, cedarwood, and tobacco mingle with hints of graphite, earth, and subtle truffle. On the palate, it reveals layers of dark plum and cassis, framed by refined tannins and balanced acidity. The finish is long, elegant, and expressive, with Pauillac’s signature power tempered by finesse.

Winemaking & Vineyard Details

The 2002 Mouton Rothschild is dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, supported by Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. Grapes are sourced from gravel-rich soils overlooking the Gironde estuary. After fermentation in oak vats, the wine aged for 18–20 months in 100% new French oak barrels. Each bottle also carries the château’s tradition of a commissioned label by a renowned artist, underscoring its cultural prestige.

Investment & Collectibility

The 2002 Mouton Rothschild stands as a fine choice for collectors, offering both historic significance and enduring quality. As a First Growth with limited availability and global demand, it remains a cornerstone for serious Bordeaux collections. Perfect for your collection.

Vintage Specifics & Accolades

The 2002 Bordeaux vintage was cooler than its immediate predecessors, producing wines of balance, freshness, and moderate alcohol. In Pauillac, top estates like Mouton Rothschild excelled, creating structured wines with excellent aging potential.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

Dense purple to the rim, this wine exhibits the classic cassis aroma that is so characteristic of Mouton. Medium to full-bodied, tannic, powerful, and cut somewhat from the 1988 mold, this is a backward, chewy, well-endowed Mouton-Rothschild that will require considerable patience from those who purchase it. A blend of 78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Petit Verdot, the wine needs a good decade of cellaring. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2030+. Reviewed by: Robert M. Parker, Jr., Issue date: April 2005. Drinking window: 2015 - 2030.

Vinous

Good saturated ruby-red. Tight nose hints at currant and smoky oak. Highly concentrated, densely packed and built to age. As young as it is, it also shows a lovely velvety texture rare for this vintage. Finishes with terrific breadth, subtle minerality and noble tannins. I've been a fan of this wine since the outset.
