Château Mouton Rothschild

Best Bordeaux Wineries to Visit

"You can visit all five of the august First Growths if you can wrangle an appointment, but Mouton is unquestionably the most welcoming — you can book online — and the one most set up to entertain casual visitors. You feel how special this place is the minute you lay eyes on it: manicured vine rows, sculpted hedges; even the pathway gravel is perfectly raked. Inside, in addition to the range of stellar wines, you can visit the lovely Museum of Wine in Art, a former barrel cellar chockfull of treasures, from medieval tapestries to Chinese porcelain, and the room displaying the originals of the famous label paintings. chateau-mouton-rothschild.com" - Food & Wine Editors
