G'day Deborah S.

Thank you for your question.

Each sounds delectable in their different ways. I would be happy to serve either.

However, the Chateau Mouton-Rothschild Bordeaux would be my choice as a wine. It is regarded as one of the world's greatest wines. Originally known as Chateau Brane-Mouton it was renamed by Nathaniel de Rothschild in 1853 to Chateau Mouton Rothschild. It was the first estate to begin complete chateau bottling of the harvest.

The Bordeaux Wine Official Classification of 1855 was based entirely on recent market prices for a vineyard's wines, with one exception: Chateau Mouton Rothschild. Despite the market prices for their vineyard's wines equalling that of Chateau Lafite-Rothschild, Chateau Mouton Rothschild was excluded from First Great Growth status, an act that Baron Philippe de Rothschild referred to as "the monstrous injustice." It's widely believed that the exception was made because the vineyard had recently been purchased by an Englishman and was no longer in French ownership.

In 1973, Mouton was elevated to "first growth" status after decades of intense lobbying by its powerful and influential owner, the only change in the original 1855 classification. This prompted a change of motto: previously, the motto of the wine was Premier ne puis, second ne daigne, Mouton suis. ("First, I cannot be. Second, I do not condescend to be. Mouton, I am."), and it was changed to Premier je suis, Second je fus, Mouton ne change. ("First, I am. Second, I used to be. Mouton, I do not change.")

I have attached sources for your reference.
