Last Thursday at the Pierre, the American Friends of Blérancourt honored Baroness Philippine de Rothschild as the first recipient of the Anne Morgan Award of Excellence. Anne Morgan, daughter of J. Pierpont Morgan, along with 350 women volunteers rebuilt war-torn Picardy following World War I. The Château de Blérancourt, her former home, now houses the Franco-American museum she founded. The Anne Morgan award was created to recognize a woman who has similarly responded to a challenge in society, the arts and in business.
Baroness Philippine de Rothschild, also from a successful family, is the head of the Bordeaux wine empire of Château Mouton Rothschild, known for the unique wine labels featuring leading artists. Baroness de Rothschild was the first woman to head up this wine company and she successfully double the sales and expanded the company. For last weeks’ elegant affair, she donated sumptuous bottles of Opus One from her personal collection. Three bottles of 1988 Chateau Mouton Rothschild were auctioned off and won by Mr. Peter Heydon.Fonte/New York Social Diary.
