château mouton rothschild was not admitted to the illustrious circle of premiers crus until the 1973 revision, even though it should have been awarded this title on its own merits from the very beginning (1885). 78 ha. of vineyard where 300.000 bottles (approximately) of mouton rothschild premier cru clessé, le petit mouton and blanc aile d'argent are produced. it owes its character to the lean layers of gravel, several metres deep, with high iron and silicate content. the proportion of cabernet (sauvignon and franc) is 90%, unusually high, which means a greater dependence on annual climatic fluctuations. since 1945, various artists such as dalí, picasso, warhol, miró, prince charles of england and others have illustrated the labels of the first wine, mouton rothschild. this is a jewel of the old world. huge, cedary, cassis, lead pencil, menthol-like aromas soared from the glass. the black/purple color revealed no signs of lightening or amber at the edge. full-bodied, rich, and super-intense, this was an a profound bottle of 1961 mouton that would have stood up against the compelling 1959. i have found the 1961 mouton-rothschild to be distressingly variable in quality, much like the consistently inconsistent 1970. at its best the wine is a great mouton.
