In 1853, Baron Nathaniel de Rothschild acquired the esteemed Château Brane-Mouton in Pauillac, renaming it Château Mouton Rothschild. Under the visionary leadership of Baron Philippe de Rothschild from 1922, the estate began bottling its wines entirely at the château, with each vintage’s label graced by a contemporary artist’s work since 1945. Now managed by the Baroness Philippine de Rothschild's children, Château Mouton Rothschild remains a symbol of Bordeaux’s grandeur. Its 82-hectare vineyard, rooted in pebbly gravel soils, produces wines of remarkable power, elegance, and tannic structure, shaped by the Médoc’s unique climate.

Wine Advocate
Aromas of crème de cassis and dark berries mingled with pencil shaving, espresso roast and violets introduce the 2023 Mouton Rothschild, a medium to full-bodied, layered and fleshy wine with a creamy core of ripe but lively fruit, sweet tannins and an expansive finish. In terms of parcels, the 2023 is quite different in origins from the 2022, favoring plots that are better-drained rather than those resistant to drought.

This is the most structured Mouton since the great 2016, with tannins that start slowly and then take off. It’s muscular and toned. It’s full-bodied but doesn’t come across too heavy. It builds up in intensity and goes on and on and on. It just keeps expanding. I took a double take here.
