Château Mouton Rothschild Pauillac Tinto

Description

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 weathered a few turbulent times until 1922, when Philippe de Rothschild took the reins. The estate was reborn from the ashes with its first bottling in 1924. From the 1945 harvest, already regarded as a great wine, every label began to feature works by renowned contemporary artists such as Picasso, Chagall, and Miró. As a testament to its quality, Château Mouton was elevated to Premier Grand Cru Classé, the elite of Médoc wines. The wines are powerful and rich, yet they exude a sense of finesse and develop a velvety texture with age. They are truly magnificent and unforgettable. Made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Petit Verdot in varying proportions year to year, Cabernet Sauvignon always remains the dominant grape. Many wines have been born in this house over the years, and countless stories have unfolded behind the magnificent château’s doors. The wines speak for themselves, and if not already among the most sought-after worldwide, many of them rank among the finest ever produced. (illustrative image)
