Product details
Every year since 1945, a great artist has created an original artwork for the Château Mouton Rothschild label. Thus, the most famous names in contemporary art are brought together in a collection to which a new work is added each year.
Baroness Philippine de Rothschild, the owner of Mouton, has given the commission for the 2006 vintage to the British painter Lucian Freud, born in 1922, a universally acknowledged master of contemporary portraiture.
In 2008, one of his works was sold for the highest price ever attained by a living artist. For the Mouton 2006 Lucian Freud has chosen a joyously exotic transposition of the pleasure of drinking, in which the vinestock is transformed into a springing palm tree and the winelover into a happily anticipatory zebra.
Château Mouton Rothschild should be decanted between 30 minutes and 2 hours before serving, depending on the vintage.
Blend: 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Merlot
