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.
1985 red wine gift – Château Mouton Rothschild 1985
Paul Delvaux designed the label for the Château Mouton Rothschild 1985, a celebrated Bordeaux First Growth wine known for its elegance, finesse, and rich complexity.
Wineries produced the 1985 vintage with elegance and finesse rather than raw power.
This Château Mouton Rothschild exemplifies that quality.
The bouquet reveals complex and intense aromas of ripe fruits such as blackberry, blueberry, and blackcurrant, harmoniously combined with notes of mint, incense, vanilla, and cocoa.
The full and generous body displays flavours of caramel, ripe fruits, and spices, leading to a long, elegant finish.
Paul Delvaux (1897-1994) created the 1985 Mouton Rothschild label.
Born in Belgium, he became influenced by the Flemish Expressionists before establishing himself as one of the leading figures in Surrealism.
He drew the two demure little girls in his drawing for the label of Mouton Rothschild 1985, separating them but connecting them with the allure of a bunch of grapes, which they gazed on, touched, and soon would taste.
You can find Arden Fine Wines in London offering this 1985 red wine gift.
