Château Mouton Rothschild – From Marquis to Barons
Château Mouton Rothschild took its present name after Baron Nathaniel de Rothschild acquired it from the English branch of the famous dynasty 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.
Consequently, it was a red-letter day when, in 1922, Baron Philippe de Rothschild, barely 20 years old and the great-grandson of Baron Nathaniel, took in hand the destiny of the estate.
Then, in 1924, Baron Philippe decided to bottle all the wine at the château.
Hitherto, the merchants took the wine in barrels.
This decision, soon embraced by others, meant that the château had to increase its storage space.
The architect Charles Siclis designed the spectacular Grand Chai (Great Barrel Hall) at Mouton, which they built in 1926.
Château Mouton Rothschild 1975
The Château Mouton Rothschild 1975 is a notable, long-ageing Bordeaux red wine from Pauillac, known for its significant tannins and the label artwork by Andy Warhol.
Common aromas in this wine include cedar, chocolate, cassis, spices, tar, and an “interesting meaty note”.
The 1975 Mouton Rothschild label was by Andy Warhol (1930-1987).
Born in Philadelphia, Andy Warhol (1930-1987) began as a commercial artist in an advertising agency.
In 1962, he put on a show of his famous silk-screen prints of Coca Cola bottles.
Subsequently he went on to apply the same treatment to the stars: Marilyn Monroe, Liz Taylor and Jackie Kennedy.
This was Warhol’s way of satirising our consumer society.
His studio, which he ironically christened “The Factory”, became the conscious antithesis of everything American society stood for.
Haunted by louche admirers and hangers-on, Warhol himself became a work of art.
Finally, for the 1975 Chateau Mouton Rothschild label, Warhol is in semi-serious mood, juxtaposing different studies of Baron Philippe.
