Description
Owned in the 18th century, along with Lafite and Latour, by the "prince of vines", the Marquis Nicolas-Alexandre de Ségur, and later by the Barons of Brane, who called it Brane-Mouton, Château Mouton Rothschild took its present name after its acquisition in 1853 by Baron Nathaniel de Rothschild, from the English branch of the famous dynasty.
For a long time, despite the increasingly recognised quality of its wine, Mouton did not attract much interest from its owners, who were reluctant to travel to a region that was then deprived. So it was a good day when in 1922, at the age of just twenty, Baron Philippe de Rothschild, great-grandson of Baron Nathaniel, took over the destiny of an estate to which he would devote his life.

Tasting
Eye : The colour is a lovely dark, deep colour with purple highlights.
Nose : Fine and elegant, revealing fruity aromas of wild blackberry and blueberry, followed by notes of toast, liquorice and light tobacco to complete this rich and complex aromatic palette.
Palate : The fresh, fleshy and saline attack is very intense. It opens with velvety and creamy tannins that are enveloped by a silky texture with a touch of minerality. The impression on the palate is very complete, rich with ripe fruit and peppery spice flavours. The exceptional length of the finish concludes a tasting of remarkable balance.
