Château Mouton Rothschild

Château Mouton Rothschild is one of the most prestigious and renowned wine estates in Bordeaux, France. Located in the Pauillac appellation of the Médoc region, Château Mouton Rothschild has a long and illustrious history dating back to the early 19th century. The estate's history can be traced back to the early 1800s when it was acquired by the Rothschild family, a prominent banking dynasty. Baron Nathaniel de Rothschild purchased the estate in 1853. It was under the ownership of Baron Philippe de Rothschild, Nathaniel's great-grandson, that Château Mouton Rothschild rose to prominence in the 20th century. The estate encompasses around 90 hectares (222 acres) of vineyards, planted primarily with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot grapes. The vineyards are situated on well-drained gravelly soils, ideal for producing high-quality grapes. Château Mouton Rothschild produces several wines, with its Grand Vin being the most famous and sought-after. The Grand Vin of Château Mouton Rothschild is known for its richness, complexity, and aging potential. It is predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon-based and is often considered among the finest wines in the world. Château Mouton Rothschild is renowned for its tradition of commissioning famous artists to design the labels for its Grand Vin. Since 1945, notable artists such as Picasso, Chagall, Warhol, and Jeff Koons have created labels for the estate's wines, adding a unique artistic dimension to the brand. Château Mouton Rothschild was elevated to the status of Premier Cru Classé (First Growth) in the Bordeaux Wine Official Classification of 1855.
