AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Château Mouton Rothschild 2002
The Terroir: Perched on the gravel crests of Pauillac, First Growth Mouton Rothschild is famous for its dark, powerful, and intensely aromatic expressions of Cabernet Sauvignon. Its unique microclimate and deep gravel soils yield wines of exceptional depth and aristocratic flair.
The Vintage & Label: 2002 was a classic, late-ripening Indian summer vintage in the Médoc, favoring northern Pauillac Cabernets. The label features original artwork by renowned Russian-born artist Ilya Kabakov, titled "OK, Mouton!", depicting wings soaring over the vineyard—a hallmark of collector appeal.

96 Points – Wine Spectator: "Seductive, with dark chocolate, tobacco, and ripe cassis. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a long, seamless finish. A gorgeous Mouton."

Seller's Story
With over a decade of experience dedicated to fine and rare wines, my journey began in the historic cellars of France and Italy, developing a deep appreciation for classical viticulture, provenance, and cellaring conditions. As an avid collector and seasoned expert, I specialize in sourcing exceptional vintages from premier regions, including Bordeaux, Burgundy, Piedmont, and Tuscany.
