Will it be a Chinese artist?

Posted by Tom Jenkins, Bordeaux Buyer
There is much speculation and conjecture as to which artist will appear on the 2008 Mouton Rothschild label. Who will join the list of luminaries that includes Prince Charles, Lucien Freud, Francis Bacon, Keith Haring, Andy Warhol, Pablo Picasso, Wassily Kandinsky, Marc Chagall and Salvador Dali? Mouton is keeping tight lipped; HervĂ© Berland told Decanter that ‘no decision has been made to date’. But investors have sniffed an opportunity. A Chinese artist and an eight in the vintage could make Mouton the new darling of the Orient. The official announcement won’t be made until later this year, but it looks very much like the cat is already out of the bag...

For interested parties, we have just received our 4th tranche allocation at more than double the price of our 1st release!
