Artist label

The bottle labels of many wineries are often designed by artists today. Baron Philippe de Rothschild (1902-1988) is considered the founder of this trend, which began after World War II. Many producers followed this example. See the wine law concerns under Etikett, Weinbezeichnungsrecht, and Weingesetz.

Château Mouton-Rothschild - Pauillac

The label of the famous winery in the Médoc region has been created annually by a contemporary artist since the 1945 vintage; the first was the painter Philippe Jullian. The artists receive as a fee several Kiste of the respective Jahrgang. The 2003 vintage shows, as a rare exception, no artist image, but instead a photo of the legendary founder Baron Nathaniel de Rothschild (1812-1870) with the historical purchase contract from May 11, 1853 (this label and other examples see under Château Mouton-Rothschild).
