一位Nathaniel de Rothschild在1853年購置了Château Mouton Rothschild，其家族一直持續經營至今。在波爾多左岸五大酒莊中，Mouton Rothschild應該是最具話題性的。從原本二級酒莊，經由菲利普男爵多年的努力而得以在1973年破例晉升為一級酒莊的故事總是令人津津樂道；而每年邀請一位藝術家為新年份設計新酒標圖案的創舉，則是讓許多愛酒人士每年至少都要買一瓶來收藏。
不過Mouton Rothschild並不是虛有其表而得以晉身一級酒莊，在五大酒莊中，Mouton Rothschild的酒質風格可說是最華麗奔放的，既有Pauillac典型的結實骨架，口感又豐厚圓熟，常帶有成熟漿果和明顯燒烤香味，因此吸引了全球愛酒人士的高度人氣。

This wine has finally begun to reveal some potential. It has been closed and frightfully tannic for the last decade. The wine exhibits a good dark ruby/garnet color, a sweet nose of cedar, chocolate, cassis, and spices, good ripe fruit and extraction, and a weighty, large-scaled, tannic finish. Although still unevolved, it is beginning to throw off its cloak of tannin and exhibit more complexity and balance. I remain concerned about how well the fruit will hold, but this wine will undoubtedly hit its plateau around the turn of the century. Putting it in the context of what is a largely disappointing range of Mouton-Rothchilds in the decade of the seventies, great bottles of the 1970 are superior to the 1975, but this is clearly the second-best Mouton of the decade. Last tasted 12/95
