Chateau Mouton Rothschild
From an auction catalogue note by Serena Sutcliffe M.W., Head of Sotheby’s International Wine Department: “Created a First Growth in 1973 but considered by all to have been at the top of the pyramid throughout the 20th century. Mouton is the most opulent and exuberant of all the Firsts, a reflection of the two huge personalities that have headed the Chateau since 1920, Baron Philippe and then Baroness Philippine de Rothschild. Mouton’s cassis depths seduce everyone who loves great Bordeaux. Magnificent Mouton is a sensory experience that stays with one for life. It is a gloriously forceful, flamboyant wine, voluptuous and powerful.”
