Château | Mouton Rothschild |
Country | France |
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.

A bad rainy summer has prevented the grapes from ripening under good conditions. The color is sober and amber. The nose smells of caramel and cedar. It is pleasant but fruitless. As with the 1955, entry is almost sweet in the mouth. The wine still offers a good consistency, but the acidity and dryness marks the end in the mouth, which is typical of a rather high volatile acidity. A wine only for collectors.
