One of the famous wines in the world, Château Mouton Rothschild is located in Pauillac, around 30 miles north-west of Bordeaux. The château pioneered the idea of bottling their own wine in the 1920s while other properties were still selling and exporting in barrel. A Second Growth until 1972, the winery was officially elevated to the highest rank of Bordeaux classification in 1973 after much campaigning by the famous Baron Philippe de Rothschild. Alongside the quality of the wine, the château is also famous for the commissioning of world famous artists to create the labels with a new design featuring each year. The artwork for the 1964 was by British sculptor, Henry Moore.
