Mouton Rothschild

Château Mouton Rothschild is one of Bordeaux’s most celebrated estates—a First Growth that blends artistic flair with technical excellence and bold, expressive wines. Originally classified as a Second Growth in 1855, it became the only château to be elevated to First Growth status in 1973, thanks to the tireless efforts of Baron Philippe de Rothschild. Since then, Mouton has become a symbol of luxury and creativity, famously commissioning a different artist each year—Picasso, Warhol, Hockney, among others—to design its label. The label and artist reveal is always keenly anticipated. Mouton is known for itsr opulence, richness, and ageing potential—typically more flamboyant and exotic in style than its First Growth peers, with layers of cassis, cedar, spice, and polished tannins. Mouton’s recent vintages—2016, 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2022—have received widespread acclaim, many scoring perfect or near perfect ratings from the leading critics. Mouton Rothschild continues to stand as one of the most dynamic First Growths, and its distinctive style and prestige make it a collector’s favourite.
