Château Mouton Rothschild : Coffret Magnums 2009-2010-2015

An exceptional box set bringing together three great Bordeaux vintages

The property

In 1853, Baron Nathaniel de Rothschild acquired Château Brane-Mouton at auction. The property, located in the heart of Médoc, in Pauillac, was then renamed Château Mouton Rothschild. In 1922, Baron Philippe de Rothschild took over the reins of the property. A visionary, he decided in 1924 to initiate the complete bottling at the château while entrusting the illustration of the wine label to an artist. Each year since 1945, the label of Château Mouton Rothschild is illustrated by the original work of a great contemporary artist. Dalí, César, Miró, Chagall, Warhol, Soulages, Bacon, Balthus, Tàpies, Koons, Doig... an exciting collection that grows each year with a new work and constitutes the famous exhibition "Art and Label". Emblem of the Pauillac appellation, this Premier Cru Classé makes the great wines of Bordeaux shine around the world. Today, the three children of Baroness Philippine de Rothschild, Camille and Philippe Sereys de Rothschild, and Julien de Beaumarchais de Rothschild preside over the destiny of Château Mouton Rothschild.

The vineyard

The Château Mouton Rothschild is a Pauillac wine from a vineyard of 82 hectares located northwest of Bordeaux, in the Médoc. The vines, averaging 50 years old, are planted on pebbly gravel soils that capture heat and release it during the night, thus promoting the ripening of the grapes. These draining soils rest on a clay-gravel subsoil, giving the wines of Château Mouton Rothschild a unique power, elegance, and tannic structure.

The box set

Prestigious Premier Grand Cru Classé of Pauillac, Château Mouton Rothschild unveils in limited edition a box set bringing together, in magnum format, a trilogy of exceptional vintages: 2005, 2009 and 2010.

• Château Mouton Rothschild 2005

  For this vintage, Mouton Rothschild enlisted the Italian artist Giuseppe Penone, whose illustration depicts the symbiosis between the winemaker's hand and nature. The year 2005, marked by a dry climate and moderate yields, allowed the creation of a structured and powerful wine, worthy of the great years of the property. Mainly composed of cabernet sauvignon (85%), this wine stands out for its deep color, a nose with woody and fruity accents, and a full palate with rich tannins, extended by a persistent finish.

• Château Mouton Rothschild 2009

  The British artist of Indian origin Anish Kapoor expresses in his work the creative power of nature and its intimate relationship with light. This exceptional vintage, dominated by cabernet sauvignon (88%), reveals a dark and intense color, a complex nose combining black fruits, spices and woody notes, as well as a dense and perfectly balanced palate. Structured and refined, this wine stands out for its long elegant finish, characteristic of the greatest Pauillac.

• Château Mouton Rothschild 2010

  For 2010, Mouton Rothschild entrusted the illustration of its label to the American artist Jeff Koons, who revisits Antiquity through a modern interpretation of The Birth of Venus, highlighting the timeless journey of wine. This vintage, marked by contrasting climatic conditions favoring optimal ripening of the grapes, gives birth to a wine that is both powerful and elegant, dominated by cabernet sauvignon (94%). Its deep color, its complex nose blending vanilla and black fruits, as well as its full palate with silky tannins, extend into a long and mineral finish, of remarkable finesse.
