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.

The 1965 Chateau Mouton Rothschild label was by the American artist Dorothea Tanning (1910-2012).
She discovered Surrealism at the great Museum of Modern Art show in New York in 1936.
Soon afterwards she met Max Ernst. They were married in 1946.
She worked in a variety of different disciplines: stage design, etching, and engraving.
For the 1965 Mouton label shew drew a saraband of little “She-Lambs”.
The Château Mouton Rothschild 1965 comes from a very poor vintage in Bordeaux.
Only a handful of top estates were able to produce wines with some decent character.
Today, this vintage’s value is primarily sentimental, but some well-preserved bottles from the finest châteaux, like Mouton, have shown some pleasant tertiary characteristics.
However, don’t expect a typical Mouton Rothschild experience.
Even a perfectly stored bottle is not going to be a powerhouse of fruit and structure.
