CHATEAU
Baron Nathaniel de Rothschild bought the chateau in 1853 but the legend of ""Mouton"" really began in 1922 with Baron Philippe de Rothschild. Aged of 21and driven by ambition full of originality, he decided to devote his life to forge for the wine an identity and a worldwide fame, which, from its first hours, shone on the image of Bordeaux as a whole.
In 1924, facing many deviances with the merchants of Bordeaux, the owner decided to bottle his wine at the chateau, with the mention "" mise en bouteilles intégrale au chateau"" (bottling at the chateau). After him, all the chateau followed the trend of bottling at the chateau. In 1945, to celebrate the liberation, "" V ""for Victory crowns the label of the vintage, an initiative that will mark the beginning of a series of original works created each year by famous painters.

In 1973, while no change has ever been granted in the 1855 classification, Baron Philippe gets - not without difficulty - a review and Mouton officially joined the elite of the Premier Grand Crus Classés of Bordeaux. Upon his death in 1988, his daughter Philippine took over the reins, assisted by an outstanding technical team, and still maintains the successful projects of his father.

The wine exhibits a good dark ruby/garnet color, a sweet nose of cedar, chocolate, cassis, and spices, good ripe fruit and extraction, and a weighty, large-scaled, tannic finish. Although still unevolved, it is beginning to throw off its cloak of tannin and exhibit more complexity and balance.
