Château Mouton Rothschild

Pauillac

BARONNE PHILIPPINE DE ROTHSCHILD G.F.A.

A Premier Grand Cru Classé, Château Mouton Rothschild covers 82 hectares of vineyards in Pauillac, in the Médoc. The heart of its vineyard consists of two plateaus: the « Plateau de Mouton » and the « Plateau des Carruhades », both composed of deep gravel and planted with grape varieties typical of the region. Its unique terroir makes it a prime location for great Cabernet wines.

A STORY

In few words

Château Mouton Rothschild has achieved its status thanks to two outstanding personalities, Baron Philippe de Rothschild (1902-1988) and later his daughter Baroness Philippine (1933-2014). The estate is a work of art and beauty, featuring a strikingly spectacular large cellar, a magnificent vat room inaugurated in 2013 and its famous Museum of Wine in Art.

The latter displays two millennia of works relating to vine and wine, as well as the unique and unmissable “Art et l’Étiquette” (“Art and Wine Labels”) exhibition, bringing together all the works created by the most famous contemporary artists including Miró, Chagall, Braque, Picasso, Tàpies, Bacon, Dalí, Balthus, and Koons to illustrate the labels of this fine wine since 1945.

Today, Château Mouton Rothschild is owned by Baronne Philippine de Rothschild’s three children: Camille Sereys de Rothschild, Philippe Sereys de Rothschild and Julien de Beaumarchais de Rothschild. Faithful to the efforts of their grandfather and mother, all three are dedicated to following Baron Philippe de Rothschild’s motto, “Live for the vine”, by being there in good and bad times, serving the vineyard with skill and craft, and honouring it with art.

Opulent and elegant, Château Mouton Rothschild is characterised by its finesse, the silky yet powerful texture of its tannins, its controlled fullness and great precision.
