RED BORDEAUX

FIRST GROWTHS

CHÂTEAU MOUTON ROTHSCHILD

Château Mouton Rothschild is a wine estate located

in Pauillac in the Médoc region. The Château was

not awarded 1st growth status included in the

original Bordeaux Wine Official Classification of

1855, however after a long battle it was famously

promoted to this revered status in 1973 – the only

change to be made to the original Classification of

1855. Each year the label is designed by a famous

artist, with past labels having been designed by the

likes of Salvadore Dali, Pablo Picasso and Francis

Bacon.

Robert Parker proclaims Château Pétrus to be “the 2011 3 000 125 €

undisputed king of Pomerol and probably the most

2012

famous red wine in the world”. The bottle’s label alone

2013 3 070 €

is instantly recognisable, with “PETRUS” emblazoned

in bright red. The wine is widely regarded as being 2014 23 998 049 €

the absolute pinnacle of what can be achieved with the Merlot grape. Pétrus is Latin for Peter

(who also features on the label), who guards the gates of heaven, which is perhaps appropriate

considering many view this wine as “the holy grail”. Pétrus is largely responsible for elevating the

reputation of the Pomerol appellation and is undoubtedly one of the most sought-after wines in

the world.
