Château MOUTON-ROTHSCHILD
1er grand cru classé

Mouton-Rothschild's upgrade in 1973 from second to first grand cru classé was as legitimate as it was deserved in view of the quality of its terroir, a plateau of 90 hectares of deep gravel to the north of Pauillac, with Lafite-Rothschild as a neighbor. Despite this promotion, and even though it regularly tops the rankings in tastings, Mouton-Rothschild remains to this day the least expensive of the Médoc's premier crus classés. Its powerful, full-bodied style and its ability to age well have led Mr. Bettane to write "perhaps the most formally perfect wine in the Médoc...".

J-M Quarin: 95/100 “Beautiful dark red with purple highlights. Very aromatic nose, fine, pure, fruity, subtle. Smooth on entry and rather fat in the middle, with taste and power, the wine rises in the last third of the palate. It finishes long, juicy, sappy, with a touch of vivacity that has yet to melt.” (April 2025)
