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.
