Brought to the pinnacle by two exceptional people, Baron Philippe de Rothschild then his daughter Baroness Philippine, its destiny has now been taken in hand by her three children: Philippe Sereys de Rothschild (Chairman and CEO), Camille Sereys de Rothschild and Julien de Beaumarchais de Rothschild. True to their grandfather’s and mother’s work, all three are committed, with the same enthusiasm and determination, to perpetuating Baron Philippe’s dictum: “Live for the vine”. Almost a command, it means being there for the vineyard in good times and in hardship, serving it with skill and honouring it with art.
 
Every year since 1945, the Château Mouton Rothschild label has been illustrated with an original artwork by a great contemporary artist. The exceptional collection to which a new work is added each year makes up the famous Paintings for the Labels exhibition on display at Château Mouton Rothschild.
 

A First Growth, Château Mouton Rothschild extends over 82 hectares in Pauillac, around two emblematic plateaus — the Plateau de Mouton and the Plateau des Carruades — composed of deep gravel soils particularly suited to Cabernet Sauvignon, the dominant grape variety. Aged in new French oak barrels, the wines are distinguished by their refined opulence, the silky finesse of their tannins, and a remarkable precision of expression. Brought to the highest level by Baron Philippe de Rothschild and later his daughter Philippine, the estate is today led by her three children. Since 1945, each label has been illustrated by a leading contemporary artist.
