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。

1997 - 2008
This review may be generous, but I have always liked this wine, even though it borders on being slightly too dry, austere, and restrained. Nevertheless, the dark garnet color and classic sweet, spicy, tobacco, coffee, and black currant aromas are enticing. The wine still has powerful tannin in the finish, which contributes to the dry, austere character this example has always exhibited. One of the more intellectually-styled Moutons, the 1966 is a classic example of the vintage, as well as of the chateau's Cabernet Sauvignon-dominated style. Anticipated maturity: Now-2008. Last tasted 10/97
