An exceptional piece of viticultural history for the discerning collector, sommelier, or high-end interior designer. This is an authentic, empty antique wine bottle from the legendary Château Mouton Rothschild, hailing from the historic 1874 vintage.

Label & Provenance Details The main label clearly displays the text "Mouton B.on de Rothschild, Propriétaire" and is signed by the famed manager "R. Galos, Gérant". Crucially, this specimen retains its twentieth-century lower import strip indicating it was imported by Heublein, Inc. / IWD (Hartford, Conn.) and shipped by G. Johanneton & Co, Bordeaux - France. This historical marker places the bottle as an authentic feature of the prestigious mid-century Heublein Premiere National Auctions of Rare Wines, adding an incredible layer of authenticated provenance.

The bottle includes its original cork, which has dropped slightly into the neck but remains beautifully intact as documented in the images.
