Chateau Mouton Rothschild 1945
$310,700 for the greatest Bordeaux vintage — bottled in the summer Germany surrendered.
A bottle of Chateau Mouton Rothschild 1945 sold for $310,700 at Christie's in 1997, setting a then-world record for a single bottle of Bordeaux. The 1945 vintage is considered the greatest year in Bordeaux history — produced in the summer of Germany's defeat, the vines absorbed a heat wave that concentrated sugars to extraordinary levels. Mouton Rothschild's 1945 label features a victory "V" designed by Philippe Jullian. Parker awarded it a perfect 100 points and described it as one of the two or three greatest wines he had ever tasted.
