"A rich, powerful red with so much fruit and intensity. It’s full-bodied with masses of fruit with vanilla and coffee character and a long, warm finish. Layered and intense. Really needs time in the bottle to come together. Better after 2025." - James Suckling
Deep purple colour, with deep and brilliant reflections. Very expressive on the nose with notes of blackcurrant, blackberry and Morello cherry mixed with notes of liquorice and violet. Great elegance on the palate, with a fine tannic framework supported by nice freshness, giving a wine of remarkable depth and persistence on the palate. A great wine that will go on for decades.
The 2014 Cristal is a terrific effort that transcends the vintage. Bursting from the glass with expressive aromas of ripe citrus fruit, nectarine, white flowers, freshly baked bread and subtle hints of honeycomb, it's medium to full-bodied, vinous and fleshy, with an exuberant core of fruit that's girdled by racy acids, resulting in a wine that's simultaneously chiseled and demonstrative, meaning that early appeal doesn't come at the expense of the requisite tension for long-term cellaring. Concluding with a long, aromatic and intensely chalky finish, it is a brilliant Champagne that will offer a broad drinking window. This bottle was disgorged in June 2021 with seven grams per liter dosage.- William Kelly, Wine Advocate
As part of the collection of great vintages of Ch. Pichon Comtesse, 2016 offers us a powerful, intense and elegant wine. Intensely oral notes of violet, wild blackcurrant and raspberries and spices. e wine is completed with a long nish and smooth tannins.
The wine is a deep, dark, garnet-hued cherry red. The refined and complex nose opens on remarkably ripe black fruit aromas, going on with airing to reveal blackcurrant and aniseed notes combined with touches of graphite and a subtle hint of blond tobacco.
2020 Artwork: Château Mouton Rothschild famously unveils a new artwork for each new vintage a release. The commission for this vintage was given to the Scottish artist Peter Doig, born in 1959. For Mouton 2020, the painter combines echoes of Cézanne and Van Gogh with a fascinating personal reverie on the nocturnal birth of a great wine, which the strange magic of a tine on a guitar seems to quicken into life.
