Features |
This is one of the most renowned wineries in the Bordeaux region, and its greatest feature is its fusion of art and wine. Every year, famous artists (such as Picasso, Dali, and Chagall) design the labels, further enhancing the wine's appeal with their high level of artistry. The Château was also purchased by the Mouton family in 1853 and was rated "First Growth" in 1934, making it known for its high quality. The blend, centered around Cabernet Sauvignon, is characterized by a powerful and elegant flavor that becomes even more appealing with age. The 1986 vintage is distinguished by its exceptional quality and profound historical value. The 1986 growing season was blessed with ideal weather conditions for Bordeaux, with a hot, dry summer that fostered perfect ripening. The blend, dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, is characterized by its intense, powerful flavors. This vintage offers a complex interplay of rich fruit, spice, and toasted oak, resulting in a long, lingering finish. It has received critical acclaim and is lauded for its long-lasting potential. The label design was created by Bernard Séjourné, a descendant of a Haitian farming family, making this an iconic example of the fusion of art and wine. |
