The Unique 2000 Collector's Bottle

For the historic millennium vintage, Baroness Philippine de Rothschild departed from the estate's famous tradition of commissioning a different contemporary artist each year to design the paper label. Instead, the bottle itself became the work of art.
• The Design: The bottle features a striking gold-and-silver enamel design screen-printed directly onto the glass. It depicts the famous "Augsburg Ram," an ornate, silver-gilt chiseled drinking vessel from around 1590 created by master goldsmith Jakob Schenauer, which is kept in the Château's Museum of Wine in Art.
• Market Value: Because of its historic vintage, high critical scores, and the unique nature of the bottle design, this release is highly sought after by collectors.
Wine Characteristics:
• Blend: It is a powerful blend composed of roughly 86% Cabernet Sauvignon and 14% Merlot.
• Critical Acclaim: It is widely considered an extraordinary vintage, receiving top marks from international critics (typically 97 to 98 points from publications like Robert Parker's Wine Advocate and Jeb Dunnuck).
• Drinking Window: Built for immense longevity, wine experts estimate this vintage will continue to drink beautifully and hold its peak for decades, safely through 2050 to 2060 if cellared properly.
