CHATEAU MOUTON ROTHSCHILD
In 1853 Baron Nathaniel de Rothschild bought Château Brane-Mouton and renamed it Mouton Rothschild. Baron Philippe de Rothschild became involved in the estate folowing the death in 1920 of Laura Thérè who had run the property after becoming widowed by Baron Nathaniel de Rothschild. In 1945 to celebrate the 'Année de la Victoire' he commissioned the artist Philippe Juillan to design the label which began the tradition of featuring a different artist on the label for each vintage that continues to this day (except for 1953 and 1977). Such famous names as Picasso, Kandinsky, Francis Bacon, Andy Warhol and Anish Kapoor have featured on the labels and helped to strengthen the reputation of the Château. Artists are never been paid for their work, but receive Mouton Rothschild wine. Baron Philippe de Rothschild's main goal and achievement was the promotion of Château Mouton Rothschild to First-Growth status in 1973. Since his death in 1988 the estate has been managed by his daughter, Philippine.
The Mouton Rothschild vineyards are planted with Cabernet Sauvignon (80, Merlot (16, Cabernet Franc (3 and Petit Verdot (1 on very deep gravelly soil and are mainly situated on a hillock called the 'Plateau de Mouton'. For the Grand Vin, the average age of vines is 44 years with a density of 10,000 per hectare. Vinification takes place in 44 oak vats and 20 stainless steel vats followed by maturation in oak barriques for between 19 and 22 months, the percentage of new barrels depends on the vintage. The Grand Vin Mouton Rothschild combines elegance with power and finesse with longevity. A recurring theme is the pronounced blackcurrant flavour that is to be expected of a Cabernet Sauvignon dominant wine.
