Parker: The 1949's bouquet offers copious amounts of sweet, ripe cassis fruit, herbs, spicy oak, and a touch of coffee and cinnamon. Medium-bodied, with moderate tannin still noticeable, this compact, dark garnet, opaquely-colored wine possesses superb concentration and a remarkably long finish. It appears to be fully mature, yet the balance, length, and tannin level suggest this wine could last for another 20 years. The 1949 was always consid...

Wine Information

The decade culminated with the hot year of 1949, when Bordeaux was hit by an unprecedented dry spell. Cold, rainy weather had hindered germination, which resulted in an exceptionally uneven distribution of pollen. This, in turn, made for a record small crop. With the arrival of summer, Bordeaux was subjected to a heat wave the likes of which it had never seen before. Temperatures as high as 43°C were recorded at Médoc. Early September brought ...

The 1949 Mouton Rothschild was a great bottle of this wine though unfortunately a bit corked, but the transparency and clarity of the wine still came through on the palate. Tender, soft, smooth and easy, its corkiness blew off a bit to reveal cedar, leather, dust and tobacco flavors. Then, its cassis and black rose fruit flavors really came through. In fact, the cork seemed to disappear as both time and the wine kept unfolding in the glass. Round, beautiful and balanced, I really felt that I could still taste this seductive wine despite the initial, pronounced cork aromas, and I decided that my judgment of the wine was not clouded; hence, there will be no ‘A’ for affected for this score

The capsule and cork were in excellent condition, as well as the level with very promising colour. Instantly after opening the bouquet opened up and was very expansive and complex. From the first sip to the last, this was an absolutely fabulous and grand wine, despite it was Jan-Erik Paulson’s birth vintage. Extensive and shoft aftertaste. I enjoyed the wine very much, almost as musch as the good company of Jan-Erik. Ready and will not improve like Jan☺. At its peak in normal size bottles, but could easily last another five to ten years in magnums. Serious and pleasing experience!!

Very, very dark crimson. Rich and round and complete. Full and flattering. Mouton really did seem to be on a roll in the late 1940s... Baron Philippe at his most determined? Mouton was, after all, still a second growth at this stage.

A beautiful magnum from the cellar of the late John Avery. An amazing nose so typical of a great Mouton. A perfect wine! I find it hard to decide which is the greatest wine I ever tasted - Moutons 1949 or 1945. 1945 with a bit more concentration or 1949 with more charm.

Truffles, spicy blackcurrants, velvety structure, alive, extremely elegant and finesseful. Great complexity and length. Fabulous stuff.

STILL-LIFE WITH WINE BOTTLES AND GLASSES

The artist André Dignimont (1891–1965) was very closely linked by friendship with famous contemporary writers, who were associated, as was he, with the Parisian world of the literary salons. Above all, he was known as an illustrator of his friends’ books. Dignimont illustrated works by renowned authors, such as Balzac and Colette. Many of his images and illustrations were inspired by the lively goings-on of the salons and depict the entertainment that was on offer in cafés, cabarets and throughout the Parisian nightlife. Dignimont’s rural scene for the Mouton label is thus all the more surprising. He chose to depict a still life with wine bottles and glasses on a table in a village inn, a scene that is typical of the Bordeaux region.
