Château Mouton-Rothschild was not officially classified a First Growth until 1973 after a request by Baron Philippe and tireless lobbying led to a revision of the 1855 classification. The château's exceptional terroir comprises 82 hectares planted with Cabernet Sauvignon (77%), Merlot (12%), Cabernet Franc (9%) and Petit Verdot (2%). The wine is vinified in one of Médoc's few remaining oak tanks. Following a long period of ageing in new oak barrels, only the very best vats from each harvest are chosen to bear the Mouton label.
