1989 Château Mouton Rothschild OWC Description

1989 Château Mouton Rothschild OWC 750ml is a highly collectible First Growth Bordeaux from Pauillac, presented in its original wooden case (OWC). This mature vintage combines legendary Château Mouton Rothschild prestige, outstanding vintage quality, and strong collector appeal for buyers seeking rare Bordeaux in original presentation.

The 1989 Château Mouton Rothschild vintage comes from an exceptional growing season and an early harvest. Château Mouton Rothschild describes 1989 as a very fine vintage with depth, harmony, and balance. The wine was produced from a blend of 78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Cabernet Franc, and 8% Merlot, giving it structure, freshness, aromatic complexity, and long aging potential.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Smoky and toasty aromas lead into notes of liquorice, spice, and cedarwood.

Palate

Round and polished with fruity freshness, silky tannins, and layered notes of caramel, wild berry fruit, vanilla, coffee, and white pepper.

Finish

Long, generous, harmonious, and well-balanced, showing the depth and class expected from a mature First Growth Pauillac.

1989 Château Mouton Rothschild Artist Label

The 1989 Château Mouton Rothschild label was created by Georg Baselitz. Château Mouton Rothschild’s artist-label tradition adds another layer of collector interest to each vintage and helps make bottles from the estate especially desirable on the secondary market.

OWC Collector Appeal

The inclusion of the original wooden case adds presentation value and collector appeal. For many buyers, OWC examples are especially attractive because the original case helps complete the set, improves display value, and can support long-term cellar desirability.

Serving and Storage

Serve around 60–65°F. Stand the bottle upright before opening so any sediment can settle. Open carefully and decant gently if needed.

Store in a cool, dark, humidity-controlled environment. As with all mature collectible wines, buyers should review fill level, capsule condition, label condition, provenance, and overall presentation before purchase.

Food Pairing

Pair with roasted lamb, filet mignon, ribeye, duck, veal, braised short ribs, mushroom dishes, aged cheeses, and classic French cuisine.
