Mouton Rothschild

1855 First Growths Grand Cru Classes

The property in the 18th century, along with Lafite and Latour, of the "prince of vines", the Marquis Nicolas-Alexandre de Ségur, then the Barons de Brane, Château Mouton Rothschild took its present name after it was acquired by Baron Nathaniel de Rothschild, from the English branch of the famous dynasty, in 1853.  For many years, despite the increasingly acknowledged quality of its wine, Mouton aroused little interest among its owners, unwilling to make the journey to a then-neglected region.  So it was a red-letter day when, in 1922, Baron Nathaniel's great grandson Baron Philippe de Rothschild, barely 20 years old, took in hand the destiny of an estate to which he would devote his entire life.

Bearing the stamp of his constant personal commitment, spirit of independence and visionary genius, the long reign (1922-1988) of Baron Philippe de Rothschild, poet and man of action, was marked by a series of key decisions, some of which would revolutionise the world of wine.  In 1924, Baron Philippe decided that all the wine should be bottled at the château, asserting the role and responsibility of the owners of top growths in the face of the all-powerful Bordeaux wine trade.  Hitherto, the wine had been delivered to the merchants in barrels.  This decision, soon taken up by others, meant that storage space at the château had to be increased.  The spectacular Grand Chai (Great Barrel Hall) at Mouton, designed by the architect Charles Siclis, was built in 1926.  In the same Médoc spirit, in 1933 Baron Philippe acquired a small wine-trading business in Pauillac, destined for a flourishing future under the name by which it is now known, Baron Philippe de Rothschild SA.  Among other wines, the company would produce and market Mouton Cadet, created in 1930 and now the world's leading Bordeaux AOC brand.  Later, the family extended its holdings around Mouton with the acquisition of two classified growths in the revered Pauillac vineyard: Château Mouton d'Armailhacq in 1933, renamed Château d'Armailhac in 1989, and Château Clerc Milon in 197o.

Aile d'Argent is a top-notch dry white wine owned by First Growth Chateau Mouton Rothschild in France. In the early 1980s, the previous owner of Mouton Chateau, Baroness Philippine de Rothschild, decided to plant white grape varieties and start making white wine.

 

Although the village of Pauillac is famous for producing the most solid and majestic red wine in Bordeaux, when Chateau Mouton Rothschild wanted to replant new vines in his vineyard in the 1980s, he actually planned to plant 6 hectares of white grapes, the variety being 56% Sauvignon Blanc. , 43% Semillon and 1% Muscadelle.

1991 was the first year of production, named Aile d’Argent (meaning "Silver Wing"). The name of this wine comes from a fairy tale written by the deceased old owner, Baron Philippe, for his daughter Philippe, which was later published as a book. The protagonist in the story is a magical teapot, and its name is "Silver Wings Aile". d'Argent"; later, in order to commemorate the father-daughter relationship between herself and her father, Ms. Philly named this wine after Aile d'Argent. Aile d’Argent white wine has an annual production of just over 1,000 cases, but the price is not very high, so it has now become a very popular item among Bordeaux’s premium non-sweet white wines. Aile d'Argent is a blend of Bordeaux white grapes, mainly Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon and Sauvignon Gris, sometimes with a small amount of Muscadet added. (Muscadelle), which is first fermented in stainless steel tanks. Halfway through the fermentation, the wine along with the lees will be transferred to oak barrels to continue fermentation. In 1991, the winery released the first vintage of Mouton Silver Wing. The annual output of this dry white wine is about 10,000 bottles, so it is expensive in the market.
