First, I am. Second, I used to be. Mouton does not change.
Tasting Note:
"The 2017 Mouton Rothschild has one of the highest percentages of Cabernet Sauvignon ever at 90%, with 9% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot. Very deep purple-black in color, the nose is already singing of crushed black currants, warm blackberries and chocolate-covered cherries with hints of violets, star anise, cinnamon stick and cloves plus wafts of pencil lead and unsmoked cigars. Medium-bodied, wonderfully delicate yet intense in the mouth (gaining some richness in the mid-palate on my second taste two and a half weeks later), it has super fine-grained, smooth tannins and incredible freshness, finishing very long with tons of tightly wound layers. Wow. This vintage is going to be very long-lived in the cellar!"

Overview:
In 1924, a young Baron Philippe de Rothschild, the great-grandson of Nathaniel de Rothschild, took over the wine estate. He was innovative - commissioning the Chateau’s first artistic wine label and moving the bottling process to the grounds of the Chateau.
By 1973, the Chateau was finally, and rightfully, elevated to first growth status.
The daughter of Baron Philipe de Rothschild and Elisabeth de Rothschild, Baroness Philippine de Rothschild, inherited the wine estate when her father died in 1988.
In 2014, Baroness Philippine de Rothschild passed away leaving the estate to her three children - Camille Sereys de Rothschild, Philippe Sereys de Rothschild, and Julien de Beaumarchais de Rothschild - who continue to run it today.
In 2020, the Chateau’s long-time executive director, Philippe Dhalluin, retired and Ariane Khaida took over.
