Château Mouton-Rothschild’s flagship wine is produced from the estate's finest vines, planted on the "Plateau de Mouton"—part of the property's 90-hectare vineyard. The vines’ root systems are able to anchor themselves in exceptionally deep gravel soils. True to the Pauillac style, Cabernet Sauvignon dominates the blend by a wide margin; it can account for up to 80% of the wine, depending on the vintage, complemented by Merlot and touches of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.
Harvesting is, of course, carried out by hand. Every single berry is meticulously inspected, first in the vineyard and then again in the winery. Once destemmed, the grapes are transferred directly into vats, bypassing the press entirely. Each vat is sized to correspond to a specific plot within the estate.
The wine is aged for approximately twenty months in the purest Médoc tradition—entirely in new oak barrels—and undergoes regular topping-up and egg-white fining to stabilize the wine by settling remaining solid particles to the bottom of the barrel.
Most vintages offer opulence, richness, and depth, accompanied by remarkable aromatic complexity ranging from blackcurrant and roasted coffee to mint and fine leather.
A distinctive feature of Château Mouton-Rothschild—worth mentioning again—is its annual collaboration with an artist to design a unique label for the wine. Past labels have been created by the likes of Chagall, Braque, Picasso, Dalí, Francis Bacon, and even Prince Charles of England!
