Mouton Cadet Rose Bordeaux

The Crisp, Fruit-Forward Refreshment of Bordeaux

Discover the vibrant, modern side of historic winemaking with Mouton Cadet Rosé Bordeaux. Created under the stewardship of Baron Philippe de Rothschild, Mouton Cadet brought world-class Bordeaux quality to a global audience. This dry, fruit-forward rosé offers an approachable, crisp alternative to classic heavy red blends.

Housed in an elegant high-shouldered glass bottle featuring light, pale-pink liquid and clean script branding, Mouton Cadet Rosé is crafted using the direct-pressing method to ensure a bright hue and aromatic purity. Driven by Merlot, it delivers a richer, more berry-concentrated experience than typical pale Provence rosés.

The balanced structure and refreshing acidity rely on sustainable vineyard practices and precise cellar temperature control:

1. The Merlot-Dominant Blend: Driven primarily by Merlot—often supported by small touches of Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon—this blend provides a plush red fruit base with structural elegance.

2. Direct Pressing & Lees Aging: The grapes are pressed gently to extract light, fresh color without coarse skin tannins. Aging short-term on fine lees in stainless steel vats builds a round mid-palate texture while preserving natural acidity.

3. Food-Friendly Calibration: Bottled at a balanced 12.5% ABV, this dry rosé delivers a crisp, refreshing snap that makes it an easy standalone sipper or food partner.

Taste Profile & Connoisseur Service

• The Profile: A pale, luminous candy-pink hue in the glass. It is light-to-medium bodied, lively, and smooth, offering a refreshing palate lifted by crisp acidity.

• Flavor Highlights: An inviting nose opens with prominent aromas of wild redcurrants, fresh-picked raspberries, and ripe strawberries, balanced by subtle hints of pink grapefruit zest and fresh herbal mint. The palate delivers juicy red berries and crisp citrus before settling into a subtle floral touch.

• The Finish: Clean, medium in length, and pleasantly dry, leaving a lingering trail of mineral freshness, raspberry, and bright grapefruit.

• The Perfect Serve: Serve thoroughly chilled between 6–8°C (43–46°F). Keeping the bottle well-chilled highlights its bright red-berry flavors and clean, zesty finish.

• In High-Fidelity Food Pairing: This dry French rosé excels at the dining table. It pairs magnificently with grilled shrimp skewers, fresh salmon rolls, burrata with figs, light tapas, and Mediterranean mezze like tzatziki and hummus.
