Possibly the most famous Chateau in the whole world, Château Mouton Rothschild overlooks 90 hectares of vines and is established on an exceptional terroir. The château takes its name from the fabulous gravel outcrops resting on a marl-limestone soil. In ancient French, the word for a mound of earth was "mothon", and then it became "mouton", the name which now adorns the château.

With typical Médoc vineyard plantings, Château Mouton-Rothschild's signature is that of the emblematic black grape of the Left Bank. The Cabernet Sauvignon represents 81% of the vineyard plantings and has built the identity of the estate’s vineyards.

The foundations laid by the late Baron Philippe de Rothschild in his 60 year stewardship of the estate should not be overlooked. In 1973, Mouton was promoted to ‘First Growth’. 

Since 1945, Château Mouton-Rothschild is associated with an piece of artwork. Each new vintage from the estate reveals a new label that is a reproduction of an original contemporary artwork that is solely created for Château Mouton-Rothschild.
