About Baroness Philippine de Rothschild
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philippine_de_Rothschild
Philippine de Rothschild, a scion of the vaunted winemaking family who helped modernize and expand a renowned wine-producing enterprise that sells 22 million bottles annually, died on Saturday in Paris. She was 80.
Her company, Baron Philippe de Rothschild SA, announced the death, attributing it to “complications from surgery,” which the company did not describe.
Baron Philippe de Rothschild, her father, took over the Château Mouton Rothschild estate in 1922 and lifted it into the first rank of Bordeaux chateaus. The official French rating classified Mouton in the second tier, and the baron was determined to join the four chateaus designated as premier: Haut-Brion, Lafite Rothschild, Margaux and Latour. In 1973 the baron succeeded, and put a new label on his bottles: “I am first, I was second.”
When the baron died in 1988, Baroness Philippine became the first woman in five generations to lead Mouton. She followed her father’s path, but in her own way.
The baron had begun a tradition in 1945 of commissioning prominent artists like Salvador Dalí and Andy Warhol to design the label every year. The baroness did the same and in 1990 approached the English painter Francis Bacon to ask if she could use a painting of a nude that her father had rejected. Mr. Bacon asked what had changed.
“I’m not my father,” she answered.
Madame de Rothschild, as she preferred to be called, achieved the status of grande dame in the wine universe — or simply “the Baroness.” She modernized and diversified her estate’s production, and formed a partnership in Chile to create Almaviva wines.
As chairwoman and the major shareholder of the company, she introduced a second wine to Mouton’s production, Le Petit Mouton. She also increased production of the estate’s cash cow, Mouton Cadet, the world’s most successful Bordeaux brand.
Madame de Rothschild brought the verve of a professional actress, which she had been, and perfect English and French to promoting her products at public events. “Philippine was a bright and enduring star,” Marvin R. Shanken, editor and publisher of Wine Spectator magazine, said in his publication. Philippine Mathilde Camille de Rothschild was born on Nov. 22, 1933, in Paris. After France fell to the Germans in World War II, her father went to London to help organize the French Resistance and urged his wife, Elisabeth, to accompany him. She declined, thinking that since she and her daughter were Roman Catholic, she would be safe in France.
Despite having married into a Jewish family, “she did not grasp that anyone connected with the Rothschilds was in danger from the Nazis,” Derek Wilson wrote in his 1988 book, “Rothschild: The Wealth and Power of a Dynasty.”
In June 1944, Gestapo agents arrived at the Rothschild home and took Elisabeth to the Ravensbrück concentration camp, where she died. A Gestapo officer ordered that Philippine not be taken because he said he “had a kid the same age back home,” Mr. Wilson wrote.
Madame de Rothschild graduated from the Conservatoire National Supérieur d’Art Dramatique in Paris and went on to act in the Comédie-Française and elsewhere on the theater circuit. Her stage name was Philippine Pascal. (Her paternal grandfather, Henri de Rothschild, had also used the last name Pascal when he wrote plays.) She married a director at the Comédie-Française, Jacques Sereys, whom she later divorced.
Madame de Rothschild — is survived by her second husband, Jean-Pierre de Beaumarchais; her sons, Philippe and Julien; her daughter, Camille; and several grandchildren.
For the 2004 vintage, Madame de Rothschild asked Prince Charles of Britain, an avid painter of watercolors, to do the label. She paid him with bottles of wine.
