About Château Mouton Rothschild

Château Mouton Rothschild is situated in Pauillac on Bordeaux’s Left Bank and holds Premier Grand Cru Classé status within the 1855 classification. The estate is renowned for deep, age-worthy wines with a distinctive Cabernet-led character, shaped by the gravelly soils of the Médoc. Its labels are traditionally created by artists, though the wine itself remains firmly rooted in its place of origin.

Wine country France France brings together an extraordinary range of terroirs, appellations and classic wine styles, from Champagne and Burgundy to Bordeaux and the Rhône. Read more
