Auction

Each year wine enthusiasts and collectors await with anticipation the reveal of the artist-designed labels of French winery Château Mouton Rothschild. An annual tradition since 1945, artists such as Salvador Dali, Joan Miró, Marc Chagall and Andy Warhol have been illustrating the eponymous winery’s labels. Each year the identity of the artist is a closely guarded secret and this year is no exception.

To celebrate the official revelation of the 2020 Artist commissioned by Château Mouton Rothschild, which will take place on Thursday 1 December, Sotheby’s Wine will auction an exceptional online single lot sale comprised of six Bottles, three Magnums, one Double Magnum, one Imperial and one Nebuchadnezzar all featuring the new artwork of the 2020 label.

Upon the unveiling of the artist, the images of the bottles in the sale will change from being "Featured Artwork to be unveiled on 1 December 2022" to the images of the new artwork on the 2020 label. Bidders will then have 24 hours to get their hands on the single and unique Château Mouton Rothschild ex-cellar lot, consisting of an outstanding and rare range of formats.

The successful bidder will not only become the proud owner of an exceptional wine collection, but will also be invited to collect the lot in person at the Chateau with up to 5 guests. There they will be privy to a private tour of the estate and an exclusive lunch hosted by one of the owners at one of their Pauillac estates.

Proceeds from the auction will be donated to the firefighters of the Bordeaux Region.
