Originally known as Château Brane-Mouton, it was purchased by Baron James de Rothschild's English son-in-law, Nathaniel de Rothschild, in 1853, but it was not until his grandson, Baron Philippe de Rothschild took over in 1922, that the fortunes of the estate were transformed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBaron Philippe was a dynamic figure who revolutionised the estate and was the first to introduce château-bottling in 1924. He also introduced the concept of commissioning an artist to design each new vintage’s label. Some of the most notable contributors include Salvador Dalí, Henry Moore, Marc Chagall, Francis Bacon, Lucian Freud, Anish Kapoor and Peter Doig.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally placed as a Second Growth in \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/hic-winemerchants.com\/pages\/bordeaux-grand-cru-classification-1855\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"The Bordeaux Wine Classification of 1855\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eThe Bordeaux Grand Cru Classification of 1855\u003c\/a\u003e, Baron Philippe successfully contested the classification and managed to get Château Mouton Rothschild placed into the Premiere Cru (First Gowth) in 1973, the only change ever made to the classification.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn Baron Philippe's death in 1988, his daughter and only child, Baroness Philippine continued to help raise the estate to new heights with numerous endeavours at Mouton Rothschild including the introduction of a second wine (Le Petit Mouton de Mouton Rothschild) and also internationally with Opus One in California and Almaviva in Chile.

The first vintage of this wine, 1993, was called Le Second Vin de Mouton Rothschild, but it has borne its definitive name (which has a family connotation, Petit Mouton being the name of Baroness Philippine's residence in the heart of the estrate) since the following year, 1994. Made with grapes from selected younger vines in the illustrious First Growth vineyard, it is harvested, vinified and bottled with the same scrupulous attention to detail. In order to link the second wine more closely with its famous elder, illustrated by great artists since 1945, Baroness Philippine de Rothschild has chosen a label for Le Petit Mouton de Mouton Rothschild inspired by a drawing by the famous poster artist Jean Carlu. A varietal mix of Cabernet Sauvignon (68%), Merlot (24%) and Cabernet Franc (8%)The 2010 Petit Mouton reveals a rich and complex nose with red fruit and vanilla aromas with hints of cocoa. The attack is immediately round and elegant. On the palate, forward, tightly-knit tannins provide a framework for deep, ripe fruit flavours that mingle harmoniously with roasted notes. The finish is flavoursome on fruit and vanilla notes.
