Château Mouton Rothschild celebrates its 150th anniversary. In a departure from tradition, Baroness Philippine devotes the entire label to her ancestor Baron Nathaniel de Rothschild (1812–1870), who acquired Mouton on 11 May 1853. Baron Nathaniel appears on the label in a photograph of the time, against a background that reproduces part of the deed of purchase of the estate. The document, preciously guarded in the Mouton archives, marks the start of a long love affair between the Rothschilds and fine Bordeaux wines.
