Since 1930, Mouton Cadet has been an essential Bordeaux wine, created by the House of Baron Philippe de Rothschild to offer an accessible and faithful version of the Bordeaux experience. Initially conceived to enhance grapes from the Rothschild family vineyards, it has carved out a unique place for itself in the world of wine.
A History of Family and Innovation
The name “Cadet” refers to Philippe de Rothschild, the youngest member of the de Rothschild family, who wanted to offer a Bordeaux wine accessible to connoisseurs and amateurs alike. The idea was to produce a wine that was authentic but more affordable than the prestigious Château Mouton Rothschild, and the success was immediate. Today, Mouton Cadet is exported to over 150 countries and symbolizes the accessibility of Bordeaux savoir-faire.
A Classic Assembly
Mouton Cadet is a typical Bordeaux blend, combining Merlot (majority), Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. This composition gives it roundness and fruity aromas, while maintaining an elegant structure. With its supple, well-balanced taste, Mouton Cadet goes perfectly with a wide range of dishes, from grilled meats to cheeses.
A wine for every occasion
Mouton Cadet, with its fruity taste and balanced structure, is a versatile wine. It goes well with a variety of dishes, from poultry and grilled meats to mature cheeses. This versatility makes it just as well suited to everyday meals as it is to special occasions, establishing itself as a wine for sharing and conviviality.
A domain on an international scale
Although firmly rooted in the Bordeaux terroir, Mouton Cadet enjoys worldwide recognition. Exported to over 150 countries, it has established itself as a benchmark for Bordeaux enthusiasts worldwide. The brand has also succeeded in renewing itself by offering different cuvées, including Mouton Cadet Réserve and Mouton Cadet Héritage, enabling unique facets of Bordeaux to be explored.
