The greatest artists, from Mirò to Chagall, from Picasso to Dalí and Warhol, celebrated the excellence of Château Mouton Rothschild by creating a special label for each vintage, drawing inspiration from the territory and the wine itself. Dark red in color, the nose is noble and expressive. It has aromas of red and black fruits combined with floral essences, while aeration in the glass releases more complex notes of spices. The sip envelops the palate, revealing an intensely aromatic personality, while the structure and velvety tannins confer creaminess. Of great finesse, the finish is long, fresh and mineral. Château Mouton Rothschild is in all respects a work of art, like its labels. This legendary wine fascinates aficionados all over the world.
