MOUTON
In 1853 Baron Nathaniel de Rothschild bought Château Brane-Mouton and renamed it Mouton-Rothschild. Baron Philippe de Rothschild became involved in the estate following the death in 1920 of Laura-Théré who had run the property after becoming widowed by Baron Nathaniel de Rothschild. Baron Philippe de Rothschild worked tirelessly and drove innovations such as commissioning the artist Jean Carlu in 1924 to design a new label. In the same year he also bottled the entire vintage at the Château, a practice that had up until then been virtually unheard of, and is now universally adopted for all the Grand Vins. In 1945 to celebrate the 'Anne 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 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.
