Mouton Cadet Blanc White Blend
Mouton Cadet Blanc White Blend is a 12% ABV white Bordeaux from Baron Philippe de Rothschild, built around Sauvignon Blanc — 66% in the 2024 vintage, with Sémillon and a touch of Muscadelle — fermented in stainless steel at controlled temperature and aged a few months on the fine lees. The hand-harvested fruit comes from selected partner-winemaker parcels in Entre-deux-Mers, monitored through the growing season by the Rothschild winemaking team.

The Rothschild Everyday Bordeaux
Mouton Cadet is the accessible face of the Rothschild Bordeaux empire, created in the 1970s by Baron Philippe de Rothschild as a quality everyday expression of the region. The white is an AOC Bordeaux blend drawn from several appellations, built for freshness rather than cellaring: citrus, grapefruit and white flowers with the tropical lift of ripe Sauvignon Blanc over a clean, mineral finish.

Tasting Notes
Nose: citrus zest, grapefruit, white peach and a floral top note. Palate: fresh and fruit-forward — lemon and passion fruit over a rounded lees texture, with the moderate acidity (4.8 g/l) of classic Bordeaux blanc. Finish: clean and dry (about 1.5 g/l residual sugar), with a lightly mineral close.
How to Enjoy
Serve well chilled at 45–50°F. Made for oysters, goat-cheese salads, grilled fish and sushi — the crisp, unwooded style is a weeknight white that keeps pace with food.
