The production of the Château Mouton Rothschild label was entrusted to the Danish artist Per Kirkeby. This artist from Copenhagen sublimates this 1992 vintage with a gouache painting. Kirkeby has traced the contours of a giant glass from which overflows the dark red of the wine. Around this glass, the rays of the sun and the undulation of the vines intersect and merge, in a symphony of lines and colors.

The Château Mouton Rothschild is one of the most prestigious wine in Bordeaux. Since 1973, it is a first classified growth in Médoc classification of 1855.
Purchased in 1853 by Nathaniel de Rothschild, Brane Mouton became a legend under the name of Mouton-Rothschild. With the advent of Baron Philippe de Rothschild Chateau Mouton Rothschild became the truly monumental 1er Cru it is today. In addition to the construction of cellars and buildings, and the ascension to 1er Cru status, it is the passion of a lifetime manifested in action by this remarkable man. Ranked Second Cru in 1855, it is now, since 1973, a premier cru classe. His motto became "First I am, second I was, Mouton does not change." The elegance and magic of this wine has charmed the most important contemporary artists who each year, illustrate their an original work of art on the label of Chateau Mouton Rothschild. Chateau D'Armailhac and Chateau Clerc Milon followed suit in the quality of the Rothschild family.

(09-100)
(04-1995) Impressive. Beautiful plum, berry, tobacco, cedar and toasted oak aromas and flavors, medium body and tannins and a succulent finish.
(12-1994) The 1992 Mouton has fashioned a flattering, soft, opulently-styled wine with medium body, a healthy dark rubypurple color, and a big, fragrant nose of jammy cassis, smoky oak, and roasted herbs and nuts. The wine offers a sweet, expansive mid-palate and a lush, velvety-textured finish.
