Château Mouton Rothschild – From Marquis to Barons
Château Mouton Rothschild took its present name after Baron Nathaniel de Rothschild acquired it in 1853.
For many years, however, Mouton aroused little interest among its owners.
Moreover, they were unwilling to make the journey to a then-neglected region.
It was a red-letter day when, in 1922, Baron Philippe de Rothschild took in hand the destiny of the estate.
Then, in 1924, Baron Philippe decided to bottle all the wine at the château.
Previously, the merchants took the wine in barrels.
This decision, soon embraced by others, meant that the château had to increase its storage space.
Therefore the architect Charles Siclis designed the spectacular Grand Chai (Great Barrel Hall) at Mouton, which they built in 1926.
1983 red wine gift – Château Mouton Rothschild 1983
The 1983 Château Mouton Rothschild is a highly regarded, elegant Pauillac wine known for its complex, cedary nose, fine tannins, and art-designed label by Saul Steinberg.
The wine offers a rich and complex bouquet, combining aromas of spice, cocoa, caramel, and coffee grounds with a touch of mint.
On the palate, there are flavours of blackcurrant, plum, blackberry, cedarwood, incense, and blond tobacco.
It is a full-bodied, remarkably balanced wine with silky, well-integrated tannins.
The finish is long, persistent, and elegant.
The 1983 Mouton label was by the Romanian-born American painter and cartoonist Saul Steinberg (1914-1999).
He moved to New York in 1941 and has been a regular contributor to the “The New Yorker” ever since.
During the 70s, Steinberg developed the theme of human solitude: empty beaches where the human figure is a dot in the distance.
It is this quirky view of the world that inspired his design for the Mouton Rothschild label of 1983.
You can find this 1983 red wine gift at Arden Fine Wines in London.
