MOUTON
In 1853 Baron Nathaniel de Rothschild bought Château Brane-Mouton and renamed it Mouton Rothschild. In 1945 to celebrate the 'Année de la Victoire' he commissioned the artist Philippe Juillan to design the label which began the tradition of featuring a different artist on the label for each vintage that continues to this day (except for 1953 and 1977). Such famous names as Picasso, Kandinsky, Francis Bacon and Andy Warhol have been featured on the labels and helped to strengthen the reputation of the Château. Artists have never been paid for their work, but have received Mouton Rothschild wine. Baron Philippe de Rothschild's main goal and achievement was the promotion of Château Mouton Rothschild to First-Growth status in 1973.
For the Grand Vin the average age of vines is 48 years with a density of 8500 per hectare planted on gravel soils. Vinification takes place in oak vats for between 15 and 20 days followed by maturation in oak barriques for between 19 and 22 months. Annual production is approximately 300,000 bottles.
Château Mouton-Rothschild--Vintage 1995
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
"This wine shows a very dark color and a very closed nose, although the impression of super-ripe fruit is obvious. On the palate, it shows lots of extract and ripeness, mouthfilling texture, and ripe tannins on the palate. Very good length." CC, April 2004
