Château Mouton Rothschild – From Marquis to Barons
Château Mouton Rothschild took its present name after Baron Nathaniel de Rothschild acquired it from the English branch of the famous dynasty in 1853.
For many years, despite the increasingly acknowledged quality of its wine, Mouton aroused little interest among its owners.
They were unwilling to make the journey to a then-neglected region.
So it was a red-letter day when, in 1922, Baron Philippe de Rothschild, barely 20 years old and the great grandson of Baron Nathaniel, took in hand the destiny of an estate to which he would devote his entire life.
In 1924, Baron Philippe decided that all the wine should be bottled at the château.
In doing so, he asserted the role and responsibility of the owners of top growths against the all-powerful Bordeaux wine trade.
Hitherto, the merchants received the wine in barrels.
This decision, soon embraced by others, meant that the château had to increase its storage space.
The spectacular Grand Chai (Great Barrel Hall) at Mouton, which the architect Charles Siclis designed, was built in 1926.

The 1890 Château Mouton Rothschild stands as an exceptionally rare and historic red Bordeaux wine.
Furthermore, the vintage stands out particularly because the Château’s vineyard planted some of the oldest active vines in that year.
Consequently, due to its extreme age, the wine showcases the characteristics of an aged, mature fine wine.
In addition, the colour of this old wine appears brownish.
Moreover, the nose offers seductive and refined aromas, with flavours of smoky, cigar-box, port-like, truffles, nutty, and cassis.
On the palate, it presents average acidity; additionally, it feels light-bodied and round, with dry tannins.
Finally, award-winning Arden Fine Wines in London stocks this super-rare bottle of 1890 Château Mouton Rothschild.
