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 its current name, Château Mouton Rothschild. It went through some turbulent times until 1922, when Philippe de Rothschild took the reins of the Château, which rose from the ashes with its first bottling at the Château in 1924. Starting with the 1945 vintage, by which time Château Mouton had reached the pinnacle of recognition as a great wine, every label began to be illustrated by famous contemporary artists, such as Picasso, Chagall, Miró, and others. In recognition of its greatness, Château Mouton was elevated to Premier Grand Cru Classé, the elite of the Médoc wines. Its wines are powerful and rich yet carry a sense of finesse, and when aged they develop a velvety texture. They are truly magnificent and unforgettable wines. Made from the Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Petit Verdot grape varieties, in proportions that vary from year to year, Cabernet Sauvignon always remains the majority. Many wines have been born at this estate over the years, and many stories have unfolded behind the doors of this magnificent Château. The wines speak for themselves, and it is no wonder that some of the most sought-after wines in the world, many of them counted among the finest wines ever made anywhere in the world.
