This exceptional masterclass will feature wines from the three properties that form the heart of the Baron Philippe de Rothschild estate in Pauillac: the grand vin Châteaux Mouton Rothschild (and its second wine, Le Petit Mouton); Château d’Armailhac; and Château Clerc Milon.
Head winemaker Jean-Emmanuel Danjoy will guide tasters as they explore ten wines spanning four decades, discovering the subtleties and differences of their shared terroir, and the power, elegance and precision that define them. Guests will taste three ‘mini-verticals’ – a trio of each wine – plus a single vintage of Le Petit Mouton, finishing with Mouton Rothschild from 2009, 2006 and 1998 (the latter in magnum).
