This lot comprises three magnum bottles of 1987 vintage Château Mouton-Rothschild from the Pauillac appellation in Bordeaux. The label for the 1981 vintage was designed by the swiss painter Hans Erni (born 1909).

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.

1987 is an often underrated vintage and especially the best wine estates, like Château Mouton Rothschild, have produced wines that are surprisingly good. This wine is one of the best from this vintage and will surely be a pleasure to drink.

The 1987 vintage Mouton-Rothschild was last awarded 89 points by Robert Parker. Swiss Bordeaux expert René Gabriel rated the wine 18 of 20 points. Wine Spectator rated the wine 89 points.

The fill level is excellent (into neck). The labels and capsules are in perfect condition.
