Château Mouton Rothschild Pauillac Tinto

Description

The château was purchased in 1863 by Baron Nathaniel Rothschild, who immediately changed its name from Château Mouton de Pauillac to the current Château Mouton Rothschild. It endured some turbulent times until 1922, when Philippe de Rothschild took the reins, resurrecting the estate with its first bottling in 1924. From the 1945 harvest onward, already recognized as a great wine, all the labels began to be illustrated by famous 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 velvety texture when aged. They are truly magnificent and unforgettable. Made from the grape varieties Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Petit Verdot, in proportions that vary year to year, with Cabernet Sauvignon always dominant. Many wines were born in this house over the years, and countless stories unfolded within the walls of the magnificent château. The wines speak for themselves, being among the most sought-after worldwide, and many of them rank among the best ever made in the world. (Illustrative image)
