The 1996 Chateau Mouton Rothschild is a remarkable wine that showcases the elegance and power of Pauillac. With an open and intense nose of black cherry, blackberry, cedarwood, fresh mint, and floral notes, this wine is a sensory delight. The palate is opulent and dense, with refined and silky tannins that offer a controlled power before a tender finish. The wine is aged for 18 months in 100% new French oak barrels, adding a layer of complexity and depth. Perfectly paired with roast lamb, beef Wellington, aged cheeses, and duck confit, this wine is a testament to the exceptional winemaking of Patrick Léon and the rich terroir of the Plateau de Mouton.
