TASTING NOTES:


Wine Rating: RP 91-93 points
Drink by: N/A

Lovely white peaches, lemon curd and beeswax notes with hints of orange peel, grapefruit and a touch of sage. The palate is light to medium-bodied and bursting with exuberant stone fruit and citrus flavors, with a racy line and a long, peachy finish.


Formerly known as Château Brane-Mouton, it was in 1853 that Baron Nathaniel de Rothschild acquired the property. From this date, the Château was renamed Château Mouton-Rothschild. Under the leadership of Baron Philippe de Rothschild, Mouton-Rothschild saw its reputation grow to become an emblem of the Pauillac appellation. Taking over the reins of the estate in 1922, Baron Philippe de Rothschild was at the core of all the major and innovative decisions during his time there.

From 1924, Mouton-Rothschild was the first property in the Bordeaux region to bottle the wine on the estate and to mention this on its label and on the same year, Baron Philippe asks Jean Carlu to design the label but the initiative, ahead of its time, is not repeated. The barrel storage capacities on the estate quickly become insufficient. The "Grand Cellar" at 100 metres long was designed in 1926, and was an architectural feat at that time. In 1973, Château Mouton-Rothschild acquired the rank of Premier Grand Cru Classe.

With the same passion and commitment as her father, the Baroness Philippine de Rothschild took over in 1988. Up until 2014, the estate had its facilities further expanded and modernized, which has left a profound mark on the estate. Today, the three children, Camille Sereys de Rothschild, Philippe Sereys de Rothschild and Julien de Beaumarchais de Rothschild, all co-owners of the château, continue in the footsteps of their predecessors. In the year 1991, shortly after her takeover, Baroness Philippine de Rothschild released the debut vintage of the Château Mouton Rothschild Aile d’Argent, a high-quality white wine produced from 20 acres of Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon, Sauvignon Gris and Muscadelle vines planted in the 1980’s.
