Perhaps the finest white wine yet produced by Mouton Rothschild, this 2005 offers lovely notes of honeysuckle, tropical fruits, crushed rocks, and subtle wood. It is a delicious generic Bordeaux to consume over the next 4-5 years. Score: 91 Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Maturity: 2008-2013 01 April 2008 |

Opulent, with lots of cream vanilla, apple and tropical fruit character. Full-bodied, with loads of vanilla bean and ripe apple flavors and a long finish. A flamboyant white. Drink now. Score: 92 James Molesworth, Wine Spectator 31 March 2008 |

The Mouton Rothschild team have stopped using new oak for their house white, and just half the harvest is used. Very rich but with Sauvignon dominant at the moment even though it constitutes only half the blend. Rich and figgy and almost more Californian than Bordeaux – quite fat and lots of fun– though maybe not if you’re paying for it. Score: 17 Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com Maturity: 2007-2011 21 April 2006 |
