Mouton Cadet Héritage 2019, 75cl

Bordeaux

Baron Philippe de Rothschild

Each appellation selected by the Baron Philippe de Rothschild team has a unique terroir. For the Mouton Cadet Heritage: the limestone soils of Entre-Deux-Mers and Côtes de Bordeaux yield good wines, the clayey soils of Blayais are the source of more full-bodied wines. The gravelly soils of Côtes de Bourg and the south of Entre-Deux-Mers bring elegance and freshness to the Cabernets.

Vinification: The oenologists of Baron Philippe de Rothschild regularly taste the grapes from each selected plot to determine the ideal harvest date. These plots are vinified separately to preserve the diversity and personality of each terroir and grape variety, thus maintaining the richest palette for the final blend. Vinification is adapted to each tank to optimize tannin extraction and the expression of the fruits that make up the final style of Mouton Cadet.

Aging: From 20 to 25 months, including 9 months in oak barrels.

Perfectly accompanies beef ribs, lamb shoulder, and duck breast with green pepper.

Allergens information

Baron Philippe de Rothschild

The history of the Rothschild dynasty begins in the late 18th century when the merchant Mayer Amschel Rothschild decided to send four of his five sons, after initiating them into the art of business, to the four major European capitals of the time: Salomon to Vienna, Nathaniel to London, Carl to Naples, and James to Paris, with Amschel Junior remaining by his father’s side in Frankfurt. Coming from a close-knit family, the Rothschild brothers maintained constant contact and pioneered the art of exchanging information faster than anyone else. It was these communication skills that allowed them to anticipate the profound changes occurring in Europe. During the 19th century, bankers to Napoleon’s Europe and then the industrial era, builders of the modern economy, they spoke as equals to governments and built an empire.

In 1853, Baron Nathaniel decided to settle in Paris and, wishing to serve his own wine to his distinguished guests, bought Château Brane Mouton in Pauillac, in the heart of the Médoc, at auction, naming it Château Mouton Rothschild.

However, it was in 1922 that Philippe de Rothschild, at the age of only 20, the great-grandson of Baron Nathaniel, took charge of the estate. Two years later, he imposed a revolution, insisting that his wine, previously delivered to Bordeaux wine merchants in barrels, should be bottled at the château. In the same year, in another innovation, Baron Philippe asked the poster artist Jaen Carlu to illustrate the label for the vintage. During a reign that spanned more than 60 years, his decisions profoundly transformed the world of wine, elevated the image of the family château to unprecedented heights, and considerably expanded the range and geographical scope of its activities.

Today, in addition to Château Mouton Rothschild, the Rothschild family owns Château d’Armailhac, Château Clerc Milon, Opus One Winery, Viña Almaviva, and Domaine de Baronarques.
