Baron Philippe De Rothschild, Escudo Rojo Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon

In the late 18th century, Mayer Amschel Rothschild, a merchant in the Frankfurt ghetto, had five sons. In 1789, after initiating them into the art of business, he decided to send four of them to the four major European capitals of the time: Salomon to Vienna, Nathaniel to London, Carl to Naples and James to Paris, Amschel Junior remaining at his father’s side in Frankfurt. The Rothschild myth was ready to take wing. Coming from a close-knit family, the Rothschild brothers remained in constant touch and pioneered the art of exchanging information faster and more effectively than anyone else. It was those communication skills which enabled them to anticipate the far-reaching changes then sweeping through Europe. During the 19th century, bankers to Napoleon’s Europe and then the industrial era, builders of the modern economy, they spoke as equals to governments. Having brilliantly enhanced the lustre of the family company and estates, Baroness Philippine left Mouton magnificently enlarged and modernised. Now her three children, Camille Sereys de Rothschild, Philippe Sereys de Rothschild and Julien de Beaumarchais de Rothschild, co-owners of the Château, are likewise perpetuating their mother’s dedication to excellence. United in the same ambition, Camille and Julien work closely with Philippe, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Baron Philippe de Rothschild SA, which continues to manage the illustrious First Growth with accustomed success.
