The 1987 vintage holds special significance in Mouton Rothschild's history as it honors the passing of Baron Philippe, who revolutionized the estate and initiated the tradition of artist-designed labels. Through the glass slumping technique, this meaningful bottle has been carefully heated and transformed from vessel to functional art object while preserving its cultural resonance and visual identity. The twisted wire handle at the neck adds a practical hanging element while referencing the bottle's original form. When displayed in contemporary spaces, this piece transcends mere decoration to become a conversation-starting artifact that connects viewers to Bordeaux winemaking tradition, family legacy, and sustainable artistic transformation.
