Château Mouton Rothschild Pauillac Tinto

Description

The château was bought in 1863 by Baron Nathaniel Rothschild, who immediately changed its name from Château Mouton de Pauillac to the current Château Mouton Rothschild. It survived some turbulent periods until 1922, when Philippe de Rothschild took the reins, and the estate was reborn with its first bottling in 1924. From the 1945 harvest, already recognized as a great wine, every label began to be illustrated by renowned contemporary artists such as Picasso, Chagall, Miró, and others. In recognition of its quality, Château Mouton was elevated to Premier Grand Cru Classé, the elite of Médoc wines. Its wines are powerful and rich yet possess a sense of finesse and a velvet texture when aged. They are truly magnificent and unforgettable. Made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Petit Verdot in proportions that vary year to year—though Cabernet Sauvignon remains the dominant grape—many vintages have emerged from this house over the years, each carrying its own story. The wines speak for themselves, and many are among the most sought-after in the world, ranking among the finest ever produced. (illustrative image)
