Château Mouton Rothschild

Château Mouton Rothschild, Pauillac, Bordeaux, France

Please learn the correct pronunciation of Château Mouton Rothschild. This is a famous wine all workers in the top food & beverage industry should know about.

Despite the market prices for their vineyard's wines equalling that of Château Lafite Rothschild, Château Mouton Rothschild was excluded from First Great Growth status in the original first growths in the 1855 Bordeaux Classification.

In 1973, Mouton was elevated to first-growth status after decades of intense lobbying by its powerful and influential owner, the only change in the original 1855 classification (excepting the 1856 addition of Château Cantemerle).

Premier ne puis, second ne daigne, Mouton suis.
"First, I cannot be. Second, I do not deign to be. Mouton I am."

Premier je suis, Second je fus, Mouton ne change.
"First, I am. Second, I used to be. But Mouton does not change."
