Tasting notes

Château Mouton Rothschild 1996: "(...) this showing was anything but! Deep garnet in color, it sashays out of the glass with lavishly dressed, gregarious crème de cassis, baked blackberries and plum pudding scents plus touches of menthol, fenugreek, star anise and sandalwood with fleeting glimpses at dried rose petals and oolong tea. The full-bodied palate is richly fruited, opulent and oh-so seductive, with bags of youthful black fruit and lovely finely grained tannins, finishing with fantastic freshness and length. (...)"

INFORMATIONS ABOUT THE ESTATE

In 1853, Baron Nathaniel de Rothschild bought Château Brane-Mouton and immediatly renamed it Château Mouton Rothschild.

In 1945, to celebrate the Liberation, Baron Philippe had the imaginative idea of crowing the label for that year's vintage with a suitable design. It was the "V" for Victory, the first in the facinating collection of original works created each year for the Mouton label by famous painters, including Mirò, Chagall, Picasso, Warhol, Bacon,...

In 1973, after a long battle, Baron Philippe finally obtained a revision of the 1855 classification and Mouton was officially recognized as a first growth.
