<\/p>\n

The ch\u00e2teau sets itself apart from other premier grands crus class\u00e9s with its labels, which are created each year by a different artist.<\/p>\n

The first bottling at the ch\u00e2teau took place in 1924, and a label was designed by the poster artist Jean Carlu<\/em> to celebrate this moment. Since 1994, the artist's work has appeared on the label of the Little Sheep<\/strong>the ch\u00e2teau's second wine. In 1945, the Baron Philippe de Rothschild<\/em> famous La Victoire<\/em>\u00a0with bottle label illustration Mouton Rothschild<\/strong> 1945, by the V of Victory, designed by the artist Philippe Jullian<\/em>. Then, from 1946 to 1954, a wide range of artists responded to the call to design labels. From 1955 onwards, they were finally produced by the most renowned artists:\u00a0Picasso, Marc Chagall, Andy Warhol, Balthus, Kandinsky<\/em>\u00a0and many others... To thank the artists, the baron offers them wine from two different vintages, and of course from the one that created the work of art.<\/p>\n

5 exceptional Mouton Rothschild vintages according to Robert Parker<\/h2>\n

Mouton-Rothschild 1945<\/h3>\n

Mature<\/p>\n

100\/100<\/p>\n

This vintage of ch\u00e2teau Mouton-Rothschild <\/strong>is truly one of the immortals<\/u> of the century. This wine is easily identifiable because of its remarkable qualities: exoticism, overripe, very sweet black fruits, coffee, tobacco, mocha and Asian spices. It's extraordinarily dense, opulent and rich, with layers of creamy fruit. This 1945 jewel is structured, powerful and tannic. The finish surprises with a second screen of ripe fruit, and soft tannins. Will it last another 70 years?<\/p>\n

Mouton-Rothschild 1959<\/h3>\n

100\/100<\/p>\n

This bottle of Mouton-Rothschild 1959<\/strong> is one of the world's Sheep<\/strong>. It is undeniable that this Sheep<\/strong> The 1959 represents a richer, more persuasive wine than the 1961. An intense black\/purple color, this wine presents a nose of very young blackcurrant, minerals and new oak. It's exceptionally powerful, with the fruit supported by high levels of tannin and vigorous amounts of alcohol. It has a fantastic evolutionary curve and could well be a 100-year-old wine!<\/p>\n

A deep garnet-black color. An incredible palette of aromas on the nose: blackberry, black cherry, tobacco, espresso, leather, black olive and silt. The palate is absolutely transparent from start to finish, the layers building effortlessly. One finds a certain complexity in the mouth and leading to a very long finish, between earth and and spices.How can this wine still be improving therefore have no alternative, but concedes perfection.<\/p>\n

Drink it now, it will probably be in decline after 2045.<\/p>\n

\"Mouton

Mature<\/p>\n

100\/100<\/p>\n

This wine remains one of Bordeaux legends<\/strong><\/a>. It has discarded the \"backward\" style that existed in its first 25 years, and has developed secondary nuances, such as cedar and spice box, in recent years. The cr\u00e8me de cassis, floral undercurrent, full-bodied power, extraordinary purity, multi-layered texture and minute-plus finish are a showcase for everything this ch\u00e2teau accomplished in 1982. The wine is still astonishingly young, dynamic and pure. It's a great wine, still young and seems capable of staying fruity and lively until 2082! Estimated maturity: 2015-2050<\/p>\n

Very young<\/p>\n

99\/100<\/p>\n

The 2009 edition of Mouton-Rothschild<\/strong> is as concentrated as the 2010, but in a more seductive style. Richly textured and full-bodied, with gorgeous notes of cr\u00e8me de cassis, melted licorice, espresso and chocolate. It has high, but soft, velvety tannins, a massive body, and fabulous purity. It could prove to be a candidate for perfection in 6-8 years. It will be good to drink in 30-50 years, but will still be much more affordable and charming than its 2010 counterpart.<\/p>\n
