Château Mouton Rothschild, along with the

collectors long to add to their cellars.

History of Champagne Barons de Rothschild
While the family has around 170 years of
winemaking experience under their collective
belt, Champagne Barons de Rothschild is a modern
affair. This thrilling venture is the brainchild
of Baron Philippe Sereys de Rothschild (Château
Mouton Rothschild), Baron Benjamin and his wife
Ariane (Château Clarke), and Baron Eric and his
daughter Saskia (Château Lafite Rothschild). For
the first time in history, the three branches
have joined together, and the results are nothing
short of remarkable.

The Rothschilds made their first foray into
winemaking in 1853 when Nathaniel de Rothschild
purchased the estate we know today as Château
Mouton Rothschild. Just 15 years later, his
father-in-law James de Rothschild acquired the
nearby Château Lafite, cementing the family's
presence in one of the world's most esteemed wine
regions. Through the decades, each generation has
made its stamp on these venerable estates,
bringing ever-increasing acclaim to the
Rothschild name.

Winemaking at Champagne Barons de Rothschild
The wines are vinified in small containers built
especially for the house. The reason? To preserve
the unique terroirs of the various Grand and
Premier cru villages the Rothschilds source their
grapes. With Champagne, blending and aging are of
equal importance as terroir and the quality of
the grapes destined for the wine. Upwards of 40
percent of reserve wines make their way into the
non-vintage cuvées, infusing the wines with
borderline opulent richness.

The Rothschild Rare Collection features a
stunning blanc de blancs and a superb rosé, both
from the much-celebrated and sought-after 2013
vintage. The Rosé itself lives up to the Rare
name. It's crafted from 92 percent Chardonnay,
with the small remainder made up by Pinot Noir
red wine, and is partially aged in oak. This oak
treatment gives it gorgeous spice and vanilla
notes, which beautifully complement the racy
character of the Chardonnay. Any of the Barons
de Rothschild's Champagnes can comfortably age
for several years, with the house's top bottles
offering the promise of prolonged aging, upwards
of a decade - if you can bear to wait, that is.
