❤Château Mouton Rothschild 🍷 chai rượu vang được xếp hạng “The First Growths” Bordeaux năm 1855 - Phân hạng cao cấp nhất của Pháp. “Lâu đài” Mouton Rothschild là một khu sản xuất rượu vang nằm ở làng Pauillac trong vùng Médoc , cách thành phố Bordeaux , Pháp 50 km (30 mi) về phía Tây Bắc. Nhánh của gia tộc Rothschild sở hữu Mouton Rothschild là thành viên của Primum Familiae Vini Château Mouton Rothschild có 222 mẫu Anh (90 ha) trồng nho được tạo thành từ Cabernet Sauvignon (81%), Merlot (15%), Cabernet Franc (3%) và Petit Verdot (1%). Rượu của họ được lên men trong thùng gỗ sồi (họ là một trong những lâu đài cuối cùng ở Médoc sử dụng chúng) và sau đó được ủ trong những thùng gỗ sồi mới. Nam tước Philippe de Rothschild nảy ra ý tưởng về việc nhãn hiệu của mỗi năm được thiết kế bởi một nghệ sĩ nổi tiếng thời đó. Năm 1946, sau thành công của nhãn năm 1945, nhãn này đã trở thành một khía cạnh lâu dài và quan trọng của hình ảnh Mouton với nhãn được tạo ra bởi một số họa sĩ và nhà điêu khắc vĩ đại trên thế giới.

This. Happened. Tonight. And it was glorious. More details of the tasting to follow but this was just a once in a lifetime treat to taste Bordeaux royalty from a legendary vintage. It did not disappoint. #wine #bordeaux #lafiterothschild #1961vintage #firstgrowth (at Washington D.C.) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7PvdBTBeqh/?igshid=r4fuhjlw9rl7

Baby’s first #firstgrowth Bordeaux: 2013 Chateau Margaux, side by side with a 2000 Chateau d’Issan Margaux. A great way to see what age will do for a great wine. The 2013 was terrific, but needs years to develop the oak complexities of the 2000. What a treat!!! #premiercru #bordeaux #margaux #wineeducation

First Growth Fiasco or Fortune?

Once that cork was discovered floating and bobbing at the base of the neck, it was curtains for this 3 Liter. Unfortunate for the customer (who received a $5K refund) but fortunate for the staff! 

It is always a banner day when a First Growth makes its way into the tasting room, regardless of the circumstances. We all had high hopes with the large 3L bottle in pristine condition and even wrapped in plastic to preserve the label. And it was a 1982! This is THE notorious vintage in Bordeaux - the vintage that established Robert Parker as he went against the established wine press of the day and lavished high praise and handed out multiple 100 points scores. The 1982 Haut Brion scored a lowly 95 points, so unfortunately, Haut Brion was not in the upper echelon of greatness in this vintage - when you (read: score whores) consider the cream of the crop to be 98-100 points...and I hope you read my sarcasm here. Any 95 pointer from a good year should be holding up well with good storage, so 1982 left me and my cohorts excited to consider what was in the bottle. The good news was there was enough to go around...usually with a First Growth tasting you have to be quick or you will be left trying to coax a splash out of the sediment. The bad news was that this wine just had too much going against it to have a good showing on this day. Whether it was the loose cork over the years or the hours of contact the cork had with the wine from falling in the drink, this wine was over for me from the first sniff. Very advanced or what I like to call 'over the hill' with a decidedly medicinal component through and through. It was ruined. (And even worse the next day for those who saved a half glass on their desk, precariously covered with a piece of paper) As the eternal optimist I am, I wouldn't say it was a "bad" tasting. Every First Growth that comes my way is a learning experience. An awesome, exciting glimpse into the bigger picture that is my ever evolving context of discovering what world class wine is. I can't wait for the next one. 1982 Chateau Haut Brion - from 3L :-( Flawed - cork had fallen in - no tasting note Rating: Sad Face
