CHATEAU MOUTON ROTHSCHILD

In 1853 Baron Nathaniel de Rothschild bought Chateau Brane-Mouton and renamed it Mouton Rothschild. Baron Philippe de Rothschild became involved in the estate following the death in 1920 of Laura-Thérèse who had run the property after becoming widowed by Baron Nathaniel de Rothschild. Baron Philippe de Rothschild worked tirelessly and drove innovations such as commissioning the artist Jean Carlu in 1924 to design a new label. In the same year he also bottled the entire vintage at the Château, a practice that had up until then been virtually unheard of. In 1945 to celebrate the ‘Année de la Victoire’ he commissioned the artist Philippe Juillan to design the label which began the tradition of different artists painting the label for each vintage, that continues to this day (except for 1953, 1977 and 2000). Such famous names as Picasso, Kandinsky, Francis Bacon and Andy Warhol have featured on the labels and helped to strengthen the reputation of the Château. Artists have never been paid for their work, but have received Mouton Rothschild wine. Baron Philippe de Rothschild’s main goal and achievement was the promotion of Chateau Mouton Rothschild to First-Growth status in 1973. Since his death in 1988 the estate was managed by his daughter, Philippine until she passed away in 2014. For the Grand Vin the average age of vines is 44 years with a density of 10,000 per hectare planted on gravel soils. Vinification takes place in oak vats for between 15 and 25 days followed by maturation in oak barriques for between 19 and 22 months, the percentage of new barrels depends on the vintage.
