Pauillac, FRANCE | April 14th 2016 – Baron Philippe de Rothschild SA is thrilled to announce the return of its Mouton Cadet Wine Bar during the 2016 Cannes International Film Festival, from May 11th to 22nd. In honor of its 25th anniversary at the prestigious festival, Baron Philippe de Rothschild SA has asked Parisian designer, Mathias Kiss, to create a bespoke design for the brand’s rooftop lounge atop the Palais des Festivals.

THE FRENCH ART OF LIVING: THE EXQUISITE SIGNATURE OF THE 2016 MOUTON CADET WINE BAR
An Official Wine Supplier since 1991, Baron Philippe de Rothschild SA will introduce, “The French Art of Living,” an exciting new theme to celebrate its continued partnership with the Cannes International Film Festival.
The brand has enlisted Mathias Kiss, a rising star in the Art World, to showcase his talent and construct a space indicative of the skilled craftsmanship and contemporary experimentation he’s often recognized for. The celebrated artisan will create a stylish villa on the rooftop of the Palais des Festivals, where every detail from room layout to choice of furniture, and even the sophisticated design of a tailored wine bar, will elegantly showcase the distinct je ne sais quoi of Mouton Cadet.
