Bordeaux 2015: Mouton Rothschild & Ducru Beaucaillou
Another day another First Growth as today sees the release of Mouton Rothschild accompanied by the last of the Second Growths Ducru Beaucaillou. This leaves just Lafite and Carruades to come from the Left Bank.
MOUTON ROTHSCHILD - £2100 per 6. Impressive and glamorous, the 2015 is a Mouton firing on all cylinders and is compared to the legendary 1986 (WA 100pts, £7,500) and 2010 (WA 97+, £5,250) by Neal Martin.
97-99 Neal Martin "what freshness and panache here, a classic Mouton-Rothschild that will live for 50 or 60 years, not a million miles away from say, the 1986 or 2010. Expect this to settle at the top of my banded score once in bottle."
96-97 James Suckling "Very racy and refined with super polished tannins and focused dark fruits. Blackberry, orange peel, and black currants. Full. Very long and through provoking. A wine that delivers power and finesse. Juicy and fresh."
DUCRU BEAUCAILLOU - £1280 per 12- A great success in 2015 and possibly our favourite St Julien this year. With an extremely strict selection, the production of Ducru is now one of the smallest of the Second Growths.
94-96 Neal Martin "Bruno Borie has a 2015 with backbone, with longevity in mind. I suspect this will require a decade for the tannins to soften and continue the purple patch for this grand estate."
94-96 Antonio Galloni "A wine of pedigree and exceptional class, the 2015 Ducru is structured yet also spherical in texture, with terrific balance and tons of style. The 2015 is 95% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Merlot."
We can also still offer the second label of Ducru, Croix de Beaucaillou at £320 per 12.

PETIT MOUTON - The second wine of Mouton. SOLD OUT TO PRE-ORDERS
AILE D'ARGENT - £550 per 12 - The white wine from Mouton Rothschild.
96-97 James Suckling "This has crazy energy with dried pineapple, pear and sliced apple. Full body, exotic and lively long. So exciting."
