2006 Mouton Rothschild

Mouton Rothschild, the annual creation of a work of art Each vintage at Mouton Rothschild is a tribute from one artist to another: an expression of deep respect between a renowned and talented personality and the greatest artist, Nature. Each year, art and wine engage a rich collaboration to create a unique and timeless work of art. In 1945, to celebrate the victory of the Allies and to mark his return to his estate, Baron Philippe de Rothschild asked the artist Philippe Jullian to illustrate the label of Mouton Rothschild: the V of Victory appeared on the bottles. While his first attempt in 1924 was a failure, this time it was a complete success. Since then, the label of each new vintage of Mouton has been illustrated with the reproduction of an original artwork specially designed for Mouton by a contemporary artist. Beyond the exceptional intrinsic quality of its wines, Mouton Rothschild thus creates its unique and singular signature. From one label to another, Mouton Rothschild has thus brought together some of the most celebrated artists of their day, including Miró, Chagall, Braque, Picasso, Tàpies, Francis Bacon, Dali, Balthus, Jeff Koons and even Prince Charles, the Prince of Wales. Château Mouton Rothschild, Premier Cru Classé, spreads over 84 hectares of vines in Pauillac. The estate benefits from exceptional natural conditions, as much for the quality of the soils composed of very deep gravel, as for the exposure and the sunshine.
