Château Mouton Rothschild – From Marquis to Barons

Château Mouton Rothschild took its present name after Baron Nathaniel de Rothschild acquired it in 1853.

For many years, however, Mouton aroused little interest among its owners.

Moreover, they were unwilling to make the journey to a then-neglected region.

It was a red-letter day when, in 1922, Baron Philippe de Rothschild took in hand the destiny of the estate.

Then, in 1924, Baron Philippe decided to bottle all the wine at the château.

Previously, the merchants took the wine in barrels.

This decision, soon embraced by others, meant that the château had to increase its storage space.

Therefore the architect Charles Siclis designed the spectacular Grand Chai (Great Barrel Hall) at Mouton, which they built in 1926.

2000 Bordeaux wine – Château Mouton Rothschild 2000

The Château Mouton Rothschild 2000 attracts wine enthusiasts as a highly sought-after, full-bodied red Bordeaux known for its exceptional quality, significant aging potential, and unique gold-engraved bottle design that makes it a prized collector’s item.

For 2000, Mouton’s owner Baroness Philippine made an exceptional departure from this tradition by not commissioning a painter.

For the 2000 vintage, the team replaced the traditional artist-designed label with an engraving of the “Augsburg Ram” directly in fine gold on the glass, making the bottle itself a work of art.

The design team slightly remodelled the standard Mouton bottle, of high-quality, heavy glass, at the shoulder in the shape of a truncated cone.

The engraver marked the Château Mouton Rothschild name in the base as proof of its authenticity.

Wine enthusiasts consider it a blockbuster wine with substantial tannins and structure, built for the long haul, with an anticipated maturity range extending from around 2015-2050+.

Mouton 2000 presents aromas of black fruits, creme de cassis, mint, tobacco, black truffles, coffee, and spices.

It offers rich flavours of Black Forest cake, dried mulberries, kirsch, and blackcurrant pastilles, framed by firm, grainy, yet velvety tannins and seamless freshness.

The wine boasts phenomenal length and a persistent, fruity finish with notes of espresso and cedar.
