1982 Chateau Mouton Rothschild - Pauillac - 1 Bottle (0.75L)
Chateau Mouton Rothschild 1982 Château Mouton Rothschild is the youngest of the Médoc first growths, having been promoted in 1973 after it was originally marked as a second growth in the Bordeaux 1855 classification. Promotion in such a rigid system was quite a feat. ‘It’s like coming out of a dream,’ owner Baron Philippe de Rothschild told the New York Times just afterwards. ‘When one has worked for something so very, very hard for so long, it’s hard to believe that the fight is over. ’ Investment in winemaking and vineyards continued over the next decades under the stewardship of Baron Philippe and his only daughter, Baroness Philippine de Rothschild – who also continued the practice of commissioning a famous artist to design each Mouton vintage label.
