    The Château Mouton Rothschild vineyard stretches across varied soils, primarily composed of gravel and clay, providing an optimal structure for vine cultivation. The temperate oceanic climate of the Bordeaux region, with its mild winters and warm summers, promotes perfect grape ripening. The vines, averaging 30 years old, are meticulously tended to ensure exceptional quality. Each plot is cultivated with care, respecting the principles of sustainable viticulture, thus allowing the unique character of this prestigious terroir to fully express itself.

    Owner and history

    Château Mouton Rothschild is currently managed by Philippe de Rothschild, a descendant of the founding family.

A passion for wine and art lies at the heart of the house's philosophy, which continues to attract enthusiasts from around the world.

    Vinification and aging

    The winemaking of Petit Mouton 2018 follows the Château Mouton Rothschild tradition of excellence. The grapes are harvested by hand and then carefully sorted to retain only the finest berries. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, allowing for optimal temperature management. Aging in oak barrels, some of which are new, lasts approximately 12 months. This meticulous process ensures a harmonious integration of tannins and aromas, giving the wine its complexity and elegance, while respecting the identity of the terroir.
