Producer: Château Mouton Rothschild stands as one of Bordeaux's most iconic estates, elevated to First Growth status in 1973 after Baron Philippe de Rothschild's relentless pursuit of excellence. The estate's 90 hectares of prime Pauillac gravelly soils have produced legendary wines since the 18th century, with each vintage featuring commissioned artwork from renowned artists including Picasso, Chagall, and Warhol.

The 2008 Vintage showcases Mouton's signature power and intensity, crafted during a challenging year that demanded exceptional vineyard management and rigorous selection, resulting in a wine that embodies the estate's motto "Premier je suis, second je fus, Mouton ne change" - demonstrating why this château remains at the pinnacle of Bordeaux winemaking.

The 2006 vintage was made in a testing year — a hot July, then a cool, wet August that put the Merlot under pressure and left the Cabernet Sauvignon to carry the wine. Selection was ruthless: only 44% of the crop went into the grand vin, the lowest proportion in over fifty years, and the blend came in at 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, unusually high even for Mouton. The result is a Pauillac built on precision rather than sheer weight, the wine that established Philippe Dhalluin's tenure at the estate, and one of the more talked-about labels in the series — Lucian Freud's zebra

Order cut-off and delivery dates

Orders placed before 2pm, Monday to Friday, are dispatched the same day, unless you choose a later delivery date on the basket page.

How we send it

We ship with express couriers, usually DPD or DHL, in insulated packaging that holds temperature through the network. Occasional delays happen, and everything is packed to stay in good condition if transit is longer than planned.

Time-sensitive and event orders

We can't guarantee arrival on a given day — the couriers set their own schedules. Everything leaves us in good condition with good use-by dates, but the final timing is theirs.

If your order is for an event, please tell us in the notes at checkout. We can often send it a day earlier to give it the best chance of arriving in time.

Changes after dispatch

Once your parcel is with the courier we can't redirect it or change the delivery details.

Saturday delivery

Saturday delivery is available. Our office is closed at weekends and the couriers have no phone support then, so if your order must arrive on a particular day, a weekday delivery gives us more room to help should anything go wrong.
