Château Mouton Rothschild, First Growth wine estate in Pauillac, France
The property spans 90 hectares of vineyards planted predominantly with Cabernet Sauvignon grapes on gravel-rich soils near the Gironde estuary.
Baron Nathaniel de Rothschild purchased the estate in 1853, transforming it from Château Brane-Mouton into a pioneering force in French viticulture.
Since 1945, the estate commissions contemporary artists to create original artwork for wine labels, including contributions from Picasso, Dali, and Warhol.
The estate offers guided tours by appointment, allowing visitors to explore the wine-making facilities, cellars, and museum of wine-related artworks.
In 1973, Château Mouton Rothschild became the only vineyard to receive a status upgrade in the 1855 Bordeaux classification system.

The wine estates of Bordeaux spread across the Gironde department and produce wines under more than 60 appellations. The châteaux combine winemaking traditions with modern cellar techniques. Many properties open their doors to visitors, offering tours of vineyards, fermentation rooms, and barrel cellars. The grand estates of the Médoc, such as Château Margaux, Château Latour, or Château Mouton Rothschild, rank among the most recognized addresses in the region. In Saint-Émilion, châteaux cluster around the medieval village. The Entre-deux-Mers area features numerous smaller family operations. Wine routes traverse landscapes of vine rows and historic buildings. The architecture of the châteaux ranges from medieval fortresses to 18th and 19th-century residences. Some estates have commissioned contemporary cellars from architects like Norman Foster or Jean Nouvel. Tasting rooms allow visitors to sample different vintages and blends. Many domains also organize oenology workshops and receptions in their vineyards.
