Born in 1971, Julien de Beaumarchais de Rothschild is the grandson of Baron Philippe de Rothschild (1902-1988) and the younger son of Baroness Philippine de Rothschild (1933-2014) from her second marriage to the scholar and writer Jean-Pierre de Beaumarchais.

Together with his brother Philippe and sister Camille Sereys de Rothschild, he co-owns Château Mouton Rothschild, Château Clerc Milon, and Château d’Armailhac. A lover of the arts, Julien co-authored “Mouton Rothschild: The Museum of Wine in Art” with Sandrine Herman and actively nurtures and enhances the relationship between wine and art. This relationship is a distinctive feature of Mouton, showcased both at the château itself, with the Paintings for the Labels exhibition room, and on the bottles.
