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。
Drink Date
1994 - 2009
The 1991 exhibits a moderately dark ruby/purple color, as well as a promising and complex nose of such classic Pauillac aromas as lead pencil, roasted nuts, and ripe cassis. The initial richness is quickly obliterated by frightful levels of tannin, and a tough, hard finish. Although there is an interesting and alluring dimension to this wine, the tannin level is excessively high and the wine is likely to dry out after 10-15 years of cellaring. Readers who admire austere, fruitless wines will rate it higher.
