Wines by Château Mouton Rothschild

Château Mouton Rothschild

Connoisseurs are well aware of the rich history behind this distinguished estate, with its unmistakable, elegant manor house at the heart of its meticulously maintained grounds. It is one of the world’s highly coveted five Premier Crus, located in the Pauillac appellation. Lafite and Mouton share more than just a family connection: the estate’s now 80 hectares of vineyards were originally part of the neighboring Lafite estate.
In 1853, the property was acquired by Baron Nathaniel de Rothschild from the English branch of the family. The innovative Philippe de Rothschild took over in 1922, reimagining many traditions—including the label. The 1924 vintage featured the first-ever artist-designed wine label, created by French graphic artist and poster designer Jean Carlu.
The estate’s charismatic owner, Baronesse Philippine de Rothschild, who passed away in 2014, was the first woman to lead the château. She famously said: “Making great wine is making art.”
P.S.: When was the château upgraded to the prestigious Top 5? In 1973.
