Château Mouton Rothschild--Vintage 1945
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Fully embossed slightly corroded capsule. Original two part RC label, bin-soiled and badly faded. Level top-shoulder. Slope-shouldered bottle. When compared to jeroboam of the same wine this unique bottle appears slightly larger than a standard 3 litre (double-magnum). In carton
Vintage Report 1945
Arguably one of the greatest vintages of the 20th Century, and in my opinion eclipsing the 1961. An early harvest yielded magnificent, long-lasting wines of the highest quality. The very small crop size was the result of severe frosts in May, when the vines were literally nipped in the bud. The wines' exceptional ripeness, concentration and power were due to a summer of drought and excessive heat. M.B.
