1 Bottle 1959 Château Mouton Rothschild, Pauillac

One bottle of Château Mouton Rothschild 1959 vintage Pauillac, Bordeaux/France Label designed by Richard Lippold (1915-2002) Original filling quantity: 0.75 l Fill level: top shoulder Robert Parker (1998): 100/100 René Gabriel (2011): 20/20 Wine Spectator (1991): 98/100 The label for this wine was designed by the American sculptor Richard Lippold (1915-2002). Condition The fill level is excellent (top shoulder). The label is almost entirely disintegrated. The capsule is in perfect condition. Ratings Robert Parker, Bordeaux Book, 3rd Edition (January 1998): 100/100 points "I am always blown away by the 1959 Mouton, one of the greatest Moutons made in the last thirty-five years. Every time I have this wine it is undeniable that Mouton made a richer, more persuasive wine in 1959 than in 1961. Astonishingly young and unevolved, with a black/purple color, the wine exhibits a youthful nose of cassis, minerals, and new oak. It is exceptionally powerful and super-extracted, with the fruit supported by high levels of tannin and some lusty quantities of alcohol. This mammoth, full-bodied Mouton-Rothschild should continue to evolve for another 20-30 years. It may well be a 100-year wine!" Wine Spectator (May 1991): 98/100 points "A poetic wine that will enthrall any wine lover. Dark garnet in color, it offers an unbelievable nose, with stylish, minty cassis aromas that keep developing in the glass and supple, minty eucalyptus flavors that are beautifully integrated. Powerful yet seductive; this great wine should hold for years, but why wait to drink something that's already perfect?

1 Bottle 1959 Château Mouton Rothschild, Pauillac

One bottle of Château Mouton Rothschild 1959 vintage Pauillac, Bordeaux/France Label designed by Richard Lippold (1915-2002) Original filling quantity: 0.75 l Fill level: top shoulder Robert Parker (1998): 100/100 René Gabriel (2011): 20/20 Wine Spectator (1991): 98/100 This lot comprises one bottle of 1959 vintage Château Mouton Rothschild from the Pauillac appellation in Bordeaux. The label for this wine was designed by the American sculptor Richard Lippold (1915-2002). The Pauillac appellation 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. 1959 is a legendary vintage for Bordeaux wine and enjoys the same reputation as the 1961 vintage today. In contrast to the 1959 vintage, these wines did not take much time to be ready to drink and are even harder to find today. This is one of the vintage's best wines. The fill level is excellent for a wine this age (top shoulder). The label is very slightly soiled. The capsule is in perfect condition. Château Mouton Rothschild Château Mouton Rothschild in Pauillac near Bordeaux is one of the most famous wine-growing estates in the world and is still privately owned by the Rothschild banking family. Today's estate is the legacy of Baron Philippe de Rothschild, who acquired it on October 22, 1922, when he was still a young man. By striving for excellence and constantly searching for new methods, he consistently improved the quality of the Château's output. His first innovation was to bottle the wine on the estate in order to determine all stages of production: "Mise en Bouteille au Château". His efforts were finally rewarded in 1973, when Château Mouton Rothschild was reclassified from Deuxième to Premier Cru (first growth) - the only change to have been made in the history of the official classification. Mouton has 82 hectares of vineyard area, made up of 77 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 12 % Merlot, 9 % Cabernet Franc and 2 % Petit Verdot. Château Mouton Rothschild lies on a slope that is thirty metres high in places. On this slope, a layer of more than eight metres of gravel lies on a calciferous base, coming from alluvial deposits from the nearby Gironde, in the Pyrenees, towards the end of the Beestonian stage. The Cabernet Sauvignon grape variety grows splendidly on this soil. Shipping costs excl. statutory VAT and plus 2,5% (+VAT) shipping insurance.
