Château Mouton Rothschild
In Pauillac, in the heart of the Médoc, Château Mouton Rothschild embodies a rare alliance of tradition and artistic audacity. Since Baron Nathaniel de Rothschild acquired the estate in 1853, the family has shaped its identity, while Baron Philippe drove a 20th‑century leap forward—from insisting on château bottling to cultivating the celebrated artist‑label culture.
The defining milestone arrived in 1973: after decades of campaigning, Mouton was elevated by decree to Premier Cru Classé, the only property ever to rise within the 1855 ranking. On Pauillac’s deep gravels, Cabernet Sauvignon sets the backbone; parcel vinification, precise extraction and ageing in new barriques aim for depth, tension and longevity rather than volume.
What remains is a narrative of ambition: aristocratic heritage, technical progress and a house style that proves its stature not in statements, but in decades of bottle evolution.Château Mouton Rothschild
