The Château Brane-Mouton was acquired by Baron Nathaniel de Rothschild in 1853 but it wasn’t until his great-grandson Philippe took the reins in 1922 that its place in history books was sealed. A Renaissance Man listing racecar driving, writing and film producing among his talents, his legacy at Château Mouton Rothschild includes its upgrade to First Growth status in 1973 (joining only four other estates named in the 1855 classification and the only exception ever allowed to this ruling), and the creation of landmark art collections still evolving today. Now run by his three grandchildren, the estate is very much a part of modern Bordeaux.
