Where is it from?

Pauillac produces quintessential left bank Bordeaux wines. Made of predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon, clarets from Pauillac are classy, nuanced, layered and worthy of extensive cellaring.

Home to first growths Latour, Lafite and Mouton, competition is rife in Pauillac with many other excellent estates jostling for attention. Think Pichon Baron, Pichon Lalande and Pontet-Canet.

Different Bordeaux regions have seen come in and out of vogue at different times, but Pauillac has never been out of fashion. Centuries ago, Pauillac introduced Bordeaux wines to the British market and today, the region continues to play a key part in developing emerging markets, namely Asia.

Who made it?

Mouton is a trailblazer. It started estate-bottling, combined fine art and wine, and received an upgrade to first growth status in the 1855 classification system in 1973. To date, Mouton is the only estate outside of the original 1855 group that has succeeded breaking into this top echelon of left bank wines.

Each year’s label of Chateau Mouton Rothschild was designed by a famous artist, including Motherwell, Warhol, Setsuko and Francis Bacon. Coupled with its signature richness and concentration, collecting Mouton is a match made in heaven for those who love both contemporary art and fine wine.
