Chateau Mouton Rothschild 1er Grand Cru Classé 1993

Description

The Château Mouton Rothschild 1993 – 1er Grand Cru Classé Pauillac – is a historically significant vintage with a unique story. The growing season initially mirrored legendary vintages like 1982 and 1989, but rainfall in September tempered the wine’s power, resulting in a more restrained yet elegant expression – a critique at the highest level. What truly sets the 1993 vintage apart is its controversial label: designed by Balthus, it features a nude of a young girl. Due to the image, U.S. importation was banned, and the estate released a special edition for the American market with a neutral label – now a rare collector’s item. Recognized as a Premier Grand Cru Classé since 1973, Mouton Rothschild is one of the world’s most celebrated wines. Its legacy began in 1853 with Baron Nathaniel Rothschild’s acquisition of the estate. The 1993 vintage stands as a fusion of fine art, history, and Bordeaux excellence – a must-have for collectors and connoisseurs.
