Mouton Rothschild Reveals the 2001 Artist's Label |
|
The 2001 label by American artist Robert Wilson, features a double print of Baroness Philippine de Rothschild, the owner of the estate. According to a press release, Wilson chose to set the baroness "in a symphony of colors, in which the green vine shoots and the gold of the sun harmonize with the chromatic scale of the wine, from light red to deep purple." The Baroness chose an American artist to express the house solidarity with the American people after the terrorist attacks on the New York World Trade Center on 9/11.
Since then, only 3 vintages have not had an Artist label. They are the 1953 vintage, which celebrated the initial purchase of the Mouton property; the 1977, dedicated to the Queen Mother whom stayed at the castle that year; and the 2000, which label is enameled in gold with a reproduction of Jakob Schenauer's Augsburg Ram (pictured on the right). As is the tradition at Mouton-Rothschild, Robert Wilson will be reimbursed with several cases of the 2001 Grand Vin.

Château Mouton-Rothchild has released its artist's label for the 2001 vintage. 
In 1945, Baron Philippe de Rothschild conceived the original idea of crowning the Mouton label with a work of art created for this purpose by famous artists. These have included works by Miró, Chagall, Braque, Picasso, Warhol, Bacon and Balthus among others. |
