Description

The grapes were in perfect condition as picking started. The 2020 harvest was among the earliest on record, favored by exceptional weather and rising temperatures which brought all grape varieties to full ripeness sooner than usual. The grapes were in perfect condition, producing beautifully balanced wines that are very full on the palate, underpinned by powerful yet seamless tannins and displaying great freshness. Although yields were less than generous, the quality of the wines suggests that the 2020 vintage will be one of the great successes of the decade. From a smooth yet full-bodied attack, the palate displays highly precise tannins which strike a harmonious balance with the refinement of minty and smoky notes. Displaying mineral and black berry fruit notes, the complete and exceptionally long finish expresses all the nobility of Château Mouton Rothschild Cabernet Sauvignon.
