Mondavi and Rothschild began discussing a collaboration in the early 1970s, but following the 1976 Judgement of Paris, where two Napa Valley wines took first place in a blind tasting competition in France with French judges, the negotiations intensified. In 1973, Rothschild’s efforts were realized and the winery was restored to this small group of wineries that serve as the benchmark for wines made from the five classic Bordeaux varietal grapes. Philippe revitalized the winery and spent decades lobbying the French authorities to reclassify Chateau Mouton as one of the Premiers Crus in the Bordeaux region. His passion, however, was the wine business, and at an early age he took over the management of the family’s winery, the historic Chateau Mouton Rothschild that had seen better times. A man of diverse interests and talents, he eventually became a Grand Prix driver, a screenwriter and playwright, a theater and film producer, and a poet. Mondavi’s wine empire became one of the world’s largest and was purchased in 2004 for over $1 billion.īaron Philippe de Rothschild was born in 1902 into the aristocratic Rothschild banking dynasty. In the ’60s, for example, he made a dry oak-aged sauvignon blanc that was so successful his name for the wine - fume blanc - became an accepted synonym for this classic grape. He also had a flair for unique marketing strategies. Over the ensuing decades, Mondavi introduced many new commercial winemaking techniques and became known for producing affordable quality wines. Soon thereafter, he established the Robert Mondavi Winery in the Napa Valley with a desire to produce world class wines. ![]() After graduating from Stanford with an economics degree, he joined his father’s fruit-packing and winery business, but was fired several years later after a disagreement over winemaking techniques. Robert Gerald Mondavi, born in 1913, moved with his family from Minnesota to Lodi, Calif., as a teenager. Together they created a partnership that, at the time, astounded the international wine community and would help elevate Napa Valley to a world-class appellation. One, the son of Italian immigrants who started his own winery after being fired by his father, and the other, a playboy born to one of the most famous and aristocratic families in France. The two men could not have been more different. ![]()
