In 1853, Baron Nathaniel de Rothschild bought the Château Brane-Mouton, located in the heart of the Médoc, in Pauillac, at auction. He renames the property "Château Mouton Rothschild". In 1924, it was Baron Philippe de Rothschild who took the reins of the property and had the visionary idea of bottling directly on the estate, also designing the cru label. 1973 is the year in which Château Mouton Rothschild is awarded the title of Premier Cru Classé. Emblem of the Pauillac appellation, Château Mouton Rothschild honors the great wines of Bordeaux all over the world.
Located north-west of Bordeaux, in the Médoc, the Château Mouton Rothschild vineyard extends over 90 hectares. The vines are planted on gravelly soils that capture the heat to release it during the night, thus favoring the ripening of the grapes. These draining soils rest on a subsoil of clay and gravel, which gives the wines of Château Mouton Rothschild their unique intensity, elegance and tannic structure.
