One of the famous wines in the world, Château Mouton-Rothschild is located in Pauillac, around 30 miles north-west of the city of Bordeaux. 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 highest rank of Bordeaux classification in 1973 after much campaigning by Baron Philippe de Rothschild. The 2009 vintage has a striking label from Anish Kapoor and is a blend of 88% Cabernet Sauvignon and 12% Merlot. A very elegant expression that seamlessly combines pure fruit and clean oak in a rich core.
