{"product_id":"mouton-rothschild-1er-grand-cru-classe-pauillac-bordeaux-rouge-1973","title":"Chateau Mouton Rothschild Pauillac 1973 AOC 0,75l","description":"\u003cp\u003eOf all the years to own a bottle of Mouton, this is the one with a story attached. In June 1973 the French agriculture ministry granted the estate promotion to first growth, ending Baron Philippe de Rothschild's twenty-year campaign and making the only change ever entered into the 1855 classification. The 1973 was the first vintage bottled under the new rank.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe label for that year was painted by Pablo Picasso, who had died that April, and his daughter Paloma authorised its use. Mouton has carried a different artist's work on its label every year since 1945, and the 1973 is among the most sought-after of them all, which is why the bottle trades well above what the wine alone would justify.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe vintage itself was large and thinned by rain, so expect a light, fully mature Pauillac rather than a monumental one. What you are giving is a piece of Bordeaux history that happens to be dated 1973.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Château Mouton Rothschild\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1973\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAppellation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pauillac AOC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e 75cl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bordeaux, France\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere it is likely to be now.\u003c\/strong\u003e The 1973 was always a light Mouton and is now fully mature; some bottles still give a fine cedary echo of what the estate does, but at fifty-three years it is bought for the label first.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho it suits.\u003c\/strong\u003e The obvious choice for anyone born in 1973 turning fifty-three, and the rare case where the story behind the bottle is as good as the bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition.\u003c\/strong\u003e No condition detail was supplied with the listing, so the bottle is examined in full and a written condition report confirmed before the bottle ships.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProvenance.\u003c\/strong\u003e Bought to order from a professional European merchant.
