Low R7m (in the region of $350,000) High R9m (in the region of $450,000) Château Mouton-Rothschild famously added artwork to their labels with the legendary 1945, the first vintage in the NFT. To commemorate the allied victory, Baron Phillippe de Rothschild commissioned unknown artist Phillippe Julian. The 1945 turned out to be a legendary wine and the artist labels became a huge drawcard for collectors. This impressive 176 bottle collection holds a bevy of large format bottles, including 33 double-magnums and a strong showing of the great vintages of 1982, 1986 and 2000.
