Château Mouton Rothschild 1996 is a legendary Bordeaux wine from one of the best vintages of the 20th century. The 1996 vintage is praised by wine experts and critics as exceptional and ranks among the top vintages of the Pauillac appellation. This wine was created in a year that offered perfect conditions for the Cabernet Sauvignon grape, the foundation of this First Growth wine. The iconic Château Mouton Rothschild is known for its artistic label collection, with each vintage designed by a renowned artist.
In the glass, the 1996 presents a deep garnet color and complex aromas of blackcurrants, cedarwood, graphite, and subtle tobacco notes. On the palate, lush tannins reveal themselves with an elegant structure that has been further refined by aging. The wine displays a wonderful balance between power and elegance, with a lingering finish that reflects the classic Pauillac character. The 1996 vintage wines of Château Mouton Rothschild have developed into their optimal drinking window in their third decade and now offer their best drinkability.
The wine harmonizes excellently with grilled lamb, beef fillet, game, and mature cheeses. The complex flavor profile and elegant tannins make it an ideal companion for sophisticated menus.

Shipping information
Unless otherwise specified, we ship our wines via UPS. Standard delivery time is approximately 5–8 business days within Germany and approximately 5–10 business days within the EU.
For logistical reasons, we ship once a week, on Tuesdays.
We pack the wines in UPS-certified shipping cartons in accordance with UPS packaging guidelines.
Please note that in the event of extreme temperatures that could compromise wine quality, we will only ship the wines at your express request; otherwise, we will store your purchased wines free of charge until safe shipping is possible.
Returns & Revocation
Of course, we accept returns within the scope of legal regulations. Provided the goods are in exactly the same condition as purchased, we will refund the full purchase price, excluding shipping costs, if returned within 14 days of receipt.
You must organize the return shipment yourself and also cover the return shipping costs and adequate shipping insurance.
Where possible, and especially with larger wine cellar purchases, the wine cellars of the previous owners tell us a lot about the storage conditions of the wines. A professionally managed wine cellar usually guarantees perfect storage conditions for the wines. We acquire our wines exclusively from reputable, mostly private wine collectors.
HIDDEN FEATURES
UV-LIGHT TESTING
Many high-quality wines today feature various security features for authentication, such as markings that only become visible under UV light. We check and compare all purchased wines for these features using an extensive database, and if there is even the slightest doubt, we reject the wine.
THE DETAILS MATTER
LABELS & PRINTING
We examine wine labels under a microscope to determine their quality, and we check the printed image for any peculiarities that are typical for a particular winery, wine, or vintage. We draw on a large image database to identify any anomalies.
COLOR MAKES THE DIFFERENCE
THE CONTENT
Last but not least, we also examine the wine's composition. Color, turbidity, sediment, and the bubbles in a champagne reveal a lot about the wine's or champagne's condition and potential drinking pleasure.
