This lot comprises one bottle of 1981 vintage Château Mouton-Rothschild from the Pauillac appellation in Bordeaux. The label for the 1981 vintage was designed by the French-American artist Arman Fernandez (1928-2005).
The appellation Pauillac produces some of the world’s most highly-prized and expensive red wines. Situated to the northwest of the city of Bordeaux, near the Atlantic coast, its vineyards are located on dried-out swamplands. Vines take root in gravel dunes with subterranean clay lens. Here, Cabernet Sauvignon can develop a unique depth of taste and power, so the grape variety therefore makes up a large percentage of the Pauillac cuvées. The tannin-rich, powerful, concentrated wines require longer bottle-ageing in order to differentiate and reveal their taste. The Classification of 1855 put the vineyards of the Lafite-Rothschild and Latour estates ahead of the pack, awarding them Premier cru status. Mouton-Rothschild has also belonged to the club since 1973. In second place are the Deuxième crus of Pichon-Longueville-Baron and Pichon-Longueville-Comtesse de Lalande. For decades, however, experts have judged them as being at least on a par with their Premier cru counterparts. This is also the case for numerous other top wines from this appellation.
The 1981 vintage Mouton-Rothschild was rated 91 points by James Suckling for Wine Spectator in 1994.
The fill level is excellent (into neck). The label is slightly soiled. The capsule is in perfect condition.
