In 1973, the famous Chateau Mouton Rothschild was the only chateau to date that was promoted to a higher category and joined the elite of the Premiers Grand Crus. The wines of Baroness Philipine de Rothschild are known for the changing label per harvest, each time featuring an image by a different artist. The character of the wine is characterized by red berries and cedar wood with an increase of more than 10% Merlot in the last decade. Château Mouton-Rothschild is world famous. It is located in Bordeaux in Pauillac, on the border with Saint-Estèphe. It is next to another famous winery: Château Lafite-Rothschild. The winery covers 74 hectares and a lot of cabernet sauvignon, but also merlot, cabernet franc and petit verdot are added. Especially when fully ripe, the Mouton-Rothschild can be recognized by its bouquet, pure cabernet sauvignon.
