The Château Mouton Rothschild is one of the most prestigious wine in Bordeaux. Since 1973, it is a first classified growth in Médoc classification of 1855.
Purchased in 1853 by Nathaniel de Rothschild, Brane Mouton became a legend under the name of Mouton-Rothschild. With the advent of Baron Philippe de Rothschild Chateau Mouton Rothschild became the truly monumental 1er Cru it is today. In addition to the construction of cellars and buildings, and the ascension to 1er Cru status, it is the passion of a lifetime manifested in action by this remarkable man. Ranked Second Cru in 1855, it is now, since 1973, a premier cru classe. His motto became "First I am, second I was, Mouton does not change." The elegance and magic of this wine has charmed the most important contemporary artists who each year, illustrate their an original work of art on the label of Chateau Mouton Rothschild. Chateau D'Armailhac and Chateau Clerc Milon followed suit in the quality of the Rothschild family.

(03-2004) Little year in Bordeaux. The Merlot sank and, in general, the wines are a little bony and lacking in flesh. Here the color is good. The nose evokes dead leaves, a vegetal note then, then an animal note. It should be decanted to get rid of a strong smell of reduction. On the palate, the body is medium, but the tannin tasty and still fruity, but the flesh is lacking. An honorable 84 in the context of the year.
