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.
2005 Bordeaux wine price – Château Mouton Rothschild 2005
The 2005 Château Mouton Rothschild is a highly acclaimed First Growth Bordeaux from Pauillac, celebrated for its immense power, richness, and longevity.
The 2005 vintage has received near-perfect scores from top wine critics, often praised for its “flamboyant” and “opulent” style.
It has intense scents of blackcurrant (cassis), violets, cedar, graphite, and exotic spices like clove and liquorice.
The palate is full-bodied and structured with succulent tannins and concentrated black fruit flavours.
The label for Chateau Mouton Rothschild 2005 was designed by Giuseppe Penone.
For his drawing, Penone evokes the vine-grower’s “green fingers,” representing both the vine leaf and the splayed hand of the drinker, ready to hold a glass of Mouton.
