The Chateau Mouton Rothschild is owned by the Baroness Philippine de Rothschild along with her children. Today the luxury wines brand is known as one as one of the greatest wines. The story behind their success is one of combination of the soil, the climate and the devotion and dedication of the Baron. Life for the brand name began in 1853 when Baron Nathaniel de Rothschild bought a Chateau and renamed it Chateau Mouton Rothschild. However it was not until 1922 when Baron Philippe began devoting his life to it that it did anything. The Barons ambition was to make the Chateau unique and producing some of the very best wines possible. He went to head the brand name for 65 years and introduce some new innovations including entire Chateau bottling in 1924. In 1926 he built what is now the famous Grand Chi, a 100 meter barrel hall which today remains one of the outstanding features of Mouton.

This ensures they have the intimacy and the knowledge that is needed of each of the markets which is gained by day to day contact.
