2003 Mouton Rothschild Label

為期三天的 Vin Expo 很快過去，而其中一個收穫是看見2003 Mouton Rothschild label。



Mouton 酒莊也有counter在 Vin Expo ，但主要試 Chile Mouton 及 Mouton Cadet糸列，只有少量 Opus One 及 almaviva 有機會給客試 。唯一特別在 counter 之中有免費曲奇餅食，與及有2000年金羊。



Cordier 的 counter展示出他們代理、售賣的酒，其中包括2003年Mouton Rothschild



以下是酒莊對於Label設計的解說：

A 150TH BIRTHDAY TRIBUTE

It is well-known that each year since 1945 a great painter has illustrated the Chateau Mouton Rothschild label. The 2003 vintage is an exception, however, marking the 150th anniversary of Mouton's entry into the family to which it has since belonged without interruption for five generations.

Baroness Philippine de Rothschild has therefore decided to depart from tradition by devoting the entire label to Baron Nathaniel de Rothschild (1812-1870), her direct ancestor from the English branch of the family who acquired the Mouton estate on 11 May 1853.

Baron Nathaniel is depicted on the label in a period photograph. The background shows part of the deed of sale. This document, carefully preserved in the Mouton archives, marks the beginning of a long love story between the Rothschilds and the great wines of Bordeaux.

2003 Mouton Rothschild 的零售價可能要4000元以上， Mouton 的fans便要破財了。
