I seriously doubt it. Mouton Cadet has "rothschild blood", too.

W.H. Frank has had the Mouton Baronne Phillipe '87 on their list for $20 for a
while now, and it's not moving. People will take a chance on middling chateaux
in so-so years, and maybe even first-growths in poor years. But most '87s are
past it-along with '84 it's clearly the weakest Bdx vintages of the '80s- and I
doubt anything except firsts, superseconds, top Pomerols, and the St. Emilion
Premier Grand Cru Classe wines would get $50 in either vintage.

I personally didn't think there was anything especially rude there.
