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, however, Mouton aroused little interest among its owners.
Moreover, they were unwilling to make the journey to a then-neglected region.
Consequently, 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 the estate.
Then, in 1924, Baron Philippe decided to bottle all the wine at the château.
Hitherto, the merchants took the wine in barrels.
This decision, soon embraced by others, meant that the château had to increase its storage space.
The architect Charles Siclis designed the spectacular Grand Chai (Great Barrel Hall) at Mouton, which they built in 1926.

Wine critics consider it one of the great post-war Bordeaux vintages, known for its charm and elegance.
The estate did not declare the bottle count on the front label for the 1953 vintage.
They placed this information instead on a small back label.
To commemorate the centenary, Baron Philippe dedicated the 1953 vintage to the memory of his great-grandfather.
The 1953 Chateau Mouton Rothschild label was not illustrated by a modern painter, showing instead a contemporary portrait of Baron Nathaniel.
Decades after release, the wine shows aromas of soy sauce, leather, cassis, spices, and cedar.
It boasts a deep ruby colour with amber or tawny at the rim.
The palate delights with its graceful, soft, and velvety texture.
Experts describe it as harmonious, with a balanced and integrated character.
While many people consumed bottles early due to its charming nature, the best examples have aged exceptionally well.
