What is Château Mouton Rothschild?


Besides the flagship red, the estate produces a second wine, Le Petit Mouton de Mouton Rothschild, and a limited dry white, Aile d’Argent.

The gravelly soil of the northern Médoc shapes a structured style that develops in the bottle. These wines reflect the estate’s approach: a primary wine with a distinct second wine and a small-production white that reveals another side of the property.
