Mouton-Rothschild prepares a historic London auction

Château Mouton-Rothschild will offer exclusive lots at a London auction on February 4, 2027, estimated at £1.9 million to £3.1 million and including the 1924 artist-label vintage, previously unoffered large formats and a barrel of 2025, according to Terre de Vins.
