Château Mouton Rothschild: Premier Cru Estate Tour & Tasting

Step inside one of the world's most iconic wine estates — the only château ever elevated to Premier Grand Cru Classé. Tour the legendary cellars, the world-class wine museum, and taste the nectar of Pauillac royalty.

What to expect

Your guide leads you through the monumental chai, where thousands of barrels rest in cathedral-like silence. The museum is extraordinary — original Picasso, Braque, and Dalí labels displayed alongside ancient drinking vessels. Tasting concludes in a private salon with a selection matched to the chosen experience tier. Every detail, from the engraved glassware to the quiet grandeur, is impeccably curated.
