Mouton Cadet Baron Philippe Rothschild Pauillac 5l 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 endured some turbulent times until 1922, when Château Mouton de Pauillac was again acquired in 1863 by Baron Nathaniel Rothschild, who changed the name to Château Mouton Rothschild. In 1922, Baron Philippe de Rothschild took the reins of the estate and swiftly reinstated the Château’s name at the forefront with the first wine bottlings in 1924. Today Mouton Cadet is managed by the grandson, Philippe Sereys de Rothschild, who continues to guarantee maximum quality of the wines produced on the estate, preserving the Bordeaux terroir in each bottle. He takes the reins of the Château, which rises from the ashes with its first bottling in 1924. From the 1945 harvest, already with a Château Mouton among the ranks of recognised great wines, all labels began to be illustrated by renowned contemporary artists such as Picasso, Chagall, Miró, etc. As a mark of distinction, Château Mouton is 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 Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot grapes, in proportions that vary from year to year, though Cabernet Sauvignon remains the predominant variety. Many wines have been born at this house over the years, and countless stories have passed through the doors of the magnificent Château. The wines speak for themselves, being among the most sought‑after worldwide, with many of them ranking among the best ever produced.
