WINERY DETAILS
Château Mouton Rothschild
The miracle of a great wine: no other product of the soil, from such a small area, is known to so many people around the world. Château Mouton Rothschild is a striking example of that miracle: barely a dot on the map of France, a couple of hundred acres at Pauillac, near Bordeaux, and a Premier Cru Classé, a classified First Growth, whose reputation is now universal. Of course, such success owes much to the exceptional quality of a terroir. But it is also the result of a long history of continuity within the same family, of an unusual approach that closely links wine and art, and of exacting quality standards that combine human skill, respect for tradition and a sense of innovation. Terroir, history, art, wine – including the men and women who make it. That is the magic square which gives Mouton its incomparable personality.
