This is a full-bodied, rich and concentrated wine revealing a deep ruby red hue. It develops with great elegance and no rough edges. The fruit is ripe yet fresh. Blueberry and blackberry mingle with a gentle blast of liquorice. It displays a perfect unctuous maturity, the finesse of the tannins gives the wine a velvety character and good length. We love the great mastery shown by the vintage.
"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 garnet-purple colored, the 2016 Clerc Milon leaps from the glass with beautiful scents of chocolate-covered cherries, plum preserves and crushed blackcurrants with suggestions of lilacs, cardamom, underbrush and unsmoked cigars. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has a firm frame of finely grained tannins and seamless freshness lifting the perfumed fruit to a nice long finish." - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The colour is a gilded gold. The first notes on the nose are exotic (pineapple, mango and passion fruit), then the suggestions of freshly cut aromatic herbs appear: (coriander, basil) with a touch of ginger. Palate: Solar and powerful, the mouth is tonic and presents a distinguished sap which directs the finish towards pretty mouthwatering bitters.
"Deep garnet-purple in color, it leaps from the glass with bold black cherries, mulberries, plum preserves and blackcurrant cordial scents with hints of menthol, lilacs, licorice and cloves plus wafts of fallen leaves and tilled soil. Medium to full-bodied with a taut core of ripe, densely packed, muscular fruit, it has a firm line of ripe, grainy tannins and just enough freshness, finishing long and spicy." - Robert Parker
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.
A dense and deep colour, the wine has an intense and complex, slightly saline nose which reveals notes of blackcurrant and very ripe fruit with airing. From a powerful attack on highly refined, velvet tannins, the smooth and dense mid-palate offers attractive and expressive flavours, leading into a long and elegant finish. An incredibly precise wine, it sets a benchmark for Château Montrose.
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
"The robe is of the densest black, profound and vibrant. The aromas are complex, fine and delicate, with redfruit scents and spicy, toasted nuances. The freshest of sensations on the palate, powerful and rich, with precise, juicy, concentrated tannins. The finish is long-lasting and fleshy, nicely defined, full and gourmand. It reveals the richness of the terroir of Château Pichon-Longueville allied with the plenitude of Cabernet Sauvignon. "
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.
