Château Mouton-Rothschild, Pauillac
Premier Cru Pauillac appellation wines in a stunning château setting
Owned by Baroness Philippine de Rothschild, this château produces some of the great Médocs.
The fact that wine is produced here is all thanks to the efforts of Baron Philippe, who introduced "entire château bottling" in 1924 and built an impressive 100m barrel hall.
In 1974, its wine was formally classified as Premier Cru. The château has a private museum of wine in art and offers tours with wine tasting.
The museum and gallery created by Baron Philippe de Rothschild and his wife Pauline, inaugurated in 1962 by André Malraux, features paintings, porcelain, ceramics, glassware, ivories, bronzes, sculptures, jewellry and tapestries. Three millennia of precious objects related to wine are gathered there. The tour is included with the discovery of the caves.
