Château Mouton Rothschild

Located in Pauillac, in the heart of the Médoc, Château Mouton Rothschild has a unique history marked by boldness and modernity. Acquired in 1853 by the Rothschild family with Baron Nathaniel de Rothschild, the estate was long known as Mouton d’Armailhacq before definitively adopting the name Mouton Rothschild in 1922. Visionary, Baron Philippe de Rothschild profoundly transformed the château in the 20th century, notably imposing the estate's full bottling. His fight to have the true value of Mouton recognized culminated in 1973 with a historic event: its elevation to the rank of Premier Grand Cru Classé, the only revision of the 1855 classification.

The vineyard of Mouton Rothschild extends over approximately 82 hectares, resting on deep gravel ridges typical of Pauillac, perfectly drained and ideal for vines. These soils, a mix of gravel, sand, and clay-limestone subsoils, give the wines power, structure, and finesse. The grape variety is dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, complemented by Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and a touch of Petit Verdot, allowing for a precise expression of the terroir's identity and the appellation's unique signature.

Today, Château Mouton Rothschild is run by the descendants of Baroness Philippine de Rothschild and remains an absolute symbol of Bordeaux excellence. The estate combines a deep respect for tradition with a constant pursuit of perfection, both in the vineyard and in the cellar. Each vintage is also distinguished by its artistic label, illustrated by a renowned contemporary artist, making Mouton Rothschild a wine that is both mythical, cultural, and resolutely forward-looking.
