Mouton Rothschild Book

Found an interesting book that other collectors may be interested in. Mouton Rothschild Paintings for the Labels that was put out in 1983 has a catalog and history of the art from 1945 until publication. It includes interesting photos and background of the chateau.

I really found it interesting of how some of the vintage descriptions in the book are really critical and how things look over 40 years from the book’s release.

Just a bit of show & tell. The book is available in the places you would expect. Cheers!

It really is a fantastic book. I stumbled across one about ten years ago and then quickly sought out another.

I have another that has the history of the labels of the 1855 Chateau. Will post some picks when I get home.

I don’t have them in front of me, but these read like Michael Broadbent’s notes(?) Presumably why they’re so critical of the leaner and more uneven vintages…

Exactly where the descriptions came from. Found the footnote.
