The famous Chateau Mouton Rothschild was the only chateau to have been promoted to a higher category in 1973 and joined the elite of the Premiers Grand Crus. The wines of Baroness Philipine de Rothschild are known for the changing label per harvest with each time an image of a different artist. The character of the wine is characterized by red berries and cedar with an increase in the share of more than 10% Merlot in the last decade. Château Mouton-Rothschild is world famous. It is located in the 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 Verdon are added. Especially in full maturity, the Mouton-Rothschild can be recognized by its bouquet, pure cabernet sauvignon.
