One of five wines that have been classified as such by the French government. They are Ch. Lafite-Rothschild, Mouton-Rothschild, Margaux, Haut-Brion, and Latour. They are considered, and rightly so, some of the best wine made. There are a total of 5 growths in Bordeaux and the first growths are the most highly-regarded.

In 1973, after decades of persistent and intense lobbying, Ch. Mouton-Rothschild was upgraded from second growth to first growth. Three years later, France's leading wine experts, in a blind tasting, declared Stag's Leap Wine Cellars to be superior.

Even though Mouton Cadet is a well known wine and people enjoy drinking it all over the world, it is not one that gains in value like one of the other Rothchild wine named Chateau Mouton Rothschild. Mouton Cadet is a good wine for everyday drinking while Chateau Mouton Rothschild is a collectible. If you were to buy a bottle of 2007 Mouton Cadet it retails for under $10. Here are some wines from the same winery that may gain a value based on factors such as: Proper storing conditions, lack of oxidation and a suitable ullage (ullage is the level of liquid inside of the bottle, the higher the level the better)level. If you come across a bottle of 1959 Mouton Rothschild (not Mouton Cadet) the price based on the factors above could go for about $2000-$40000 per bottle.

Mouton Cadet wine was an invention to appeal to the masses, with a low price and an interesting name.
