Mouton Cadet Rouge Bordeaux

Tasting Notes and Characteristics:

The first sip of Mouton Cadet Rouge Bordeaux wraps you in a velvet embrace, its ripe blackcurrant and plum notes unfolding with a gentle touch of cedar and subtle spice. Crafted in the heart of France, this classic Bordeaux blend—anchored by Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc—delivers a harmonious balance between supple tannins and vibrant acidity. With an alcohol by volume of 13.00%, it’s lively yet smooth on the palate, making it an ideal companion for roasted lamb or nutty Gruyère cheese. Each glass captures the essence of Bordeaux’s sun-drenched vineyards, inviting you to linger over every nuanced layer from first pour to last lingering finish.

Producer Information: Baron Philippe de Rothschild

Baron Philippe de Rothschild, based in the heart of Pauillac within Bordeaux’s prestigious Médoc region, traces its origins to 1853 when the Rothschild family acquired Château Mouton. The estate’s transformation began under Baron Philippe in the 20th century, who revolutionized Bordeaux by bottling wine at the château and introducing innovative labeling and marketing strategies. Their philosophy centers on meticulous vineyard management and blending expertise, resulting in wines that express Pauillac’s gravelly soils and maritime climate. Beyond their flagship Château Mouton Rothschild, they produce Opus One in California’s Napa Valley through a Franco-American partnership, as well as Escudo Rojo from Chile’s Maipo Valley and a range of branded Bordeaux blends like Mouton Cadet, each reflecting a commitment to terroir-driven quality across continents.
