One of the most celebrated wine producers in the world, Château Mouton-Rothschild is located in Pauillac, around 30 miles north-west of the city of Bordeaux. A Second Growth until 1972, the winery was officially elevated to the highest rank of Bordeaux classification in 1973 after much campaigning by the late Baron Philippe de Rothschild. American pop-artist Andy Warhol was commissioned to design the label for the 1975 vintage, which juxtaposes different studies of Baron Philippe himself.
90 Robert Parker
This wine has finally begun to reveal some potential. It has been closed and frightfully tannic for the last decade. The wine exhibits a good dark ruby/garnet color, a sweet nose of cedar, chocolate, cassis, and spices, good ripe fruit and extraction, and a weighty, large-scaled, tannic finish. Although still unevolved, it is beginning to throw off its cloak of tannin and exhibit more complexity and balance. I remain concerned about how well the fruit will hold, but this wine will undoubtedly hit its plateau around the turn of the century. Putting it in the context of what is a largely disappointing range of Mouton-Rothchilds in the decade of the seventies, great bottles of the 1970 are superior to the 1975, but this is clearly the second-best Mouton of the decade. Last tasted 12/95 — Robert Parker, 1st January 1998

Served from an imperial at a Claret Club dinner at The Ledbury in London where economist Jim O'Neill spoke. It was actually rather dry and tasted as though it would never throw off the tannic dryness that has always marked so many 1975s. (JR) — Jancis Robinson, 3rd December 2014

The prestigious Château Mouton Rothschild estate is home to the world-renowned First Growth of the same name, in addition to a second red wine, Petit Mouton and a white wine, made in smaller quantities, known as L'Aile d'Argent. Established in 1853 by Baron Nathaniel de Rothschild, the Château pioneered the idea of bottling their own wine in the 1920s while other properties were still selling and exporting in barrel. A Second Growth until 1972, the winery was officially elevated to the high rank of Bordeaux classification in 1973 after much campaigning by the famous Baron Philippe de Rothschild.

Cabernet Sauvignon that takes pride of place in the wines of Mouton Rothschild, with smaller percentages of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Cabernet Sauvignon always predominates in the Mouton red, giving the wine its rich tannins, wealth of aroma, flavour and superb ageing capacity. Meanwhile Merlot, an inseparable companion, brings suppleness, roundness and exceptional length.
