Chateau Mouton Rothschild

Château Mouton-Rothschild (ACO Pauillac) breaks with Bordeaux tradition and decides, in 1924, to bottle its wines on the property, instead of being bottled by merchants in the city of Bordeaux.
He managed to modify the 1855 classification for the only time and Mouton, who started out as the first of the latter, was promoted to Premier Grand Cru Classé in 1973. In 1924, the first great Mouton label was born, designed by Jean Carlu. On the occasion of the liberation of France, in 1945, he entrusted the young painter Phillippe Julian with a painting, to be reproduced on the label, revolving around the "V" for victory. From that moment on, and with the sole exception of 1953, the centenary of the purchase of Mouton by his family, and 1977, the visit of the Queen of England to the cellars, every year a prestigious painter creates an exclusive painting for the labels.

Tasting note:

At sight it shows an intense dark red color with bright reflections. Extremely elegant nose dominated by aromas of red fruits with hints of spice. The entry into the mouth is soft and creamy and its roundness gives it an attractive persistence. With powerful and velvety tannins and a finish with floral, vanilla and chocolate notes.
