Pauillac (France), April, 17, 2024 – Ever since Baron Philippe de Rothschild created Mouton Cadet in 1930, the brand has been breaking new ground in giving traditions a makeover. Now, with the contribution of his great grandchildren, Mouton Cadet is launching a new collection. Mouton Cadet x Mathilde, Mouton Cadet x Nathan and Mouton Cadet x Pierre, respectively rosé, white, and red, form the trilogy of Bordeaux wines we’ve all been waiting for. Fruit forward, easy drinking and environmentally friendly while preserving the core values of their heritage, they are ushering in a new generation of Bordeaux wines.
The new trilogy combines the energy and creativity of the younger generation with the expertise of long standing family know-how. Eye catching labels feature colors as bright as the passion that drives the wines. Easy drinking, invigorating, organic and vegan, this Mouton Cadet collection celebrates the boldness of the new: fresh and full of fruit, in a contemporary, laid back take on Bordeaux wines.
Each of the three wines in the collection is a promise, a journey of the senses to be enjoyed together. The rosé, as refreshing as the Atlantic Ocean surf, carries you off to the long, sandy beaches of the French south west coast. The white, with the brightness and white blossom aromas of Sauvignon Blanc, takes you back to Mouton Cadet’s roots, reminding us of the subtle play of light in the countryside. The red reveals the red fruit flavors and roundness typical of the Merlot grapes from which it is made, conjuring up a typical French lifestyle in tune with the times but still as refined as ever.
Mouton Cadet Rosé 2023 by Mathilde Sereys de Rothschild
Mouton Cadet Rosé x Mathilde was the first wine created as a collaboration between one of Baron Philippe de Rothschild’s great-grandchildren and Mouton Cadet’s winemakers. Together, they built the ideal profile for a fresh, contemporary and environmentally friendly rosé. It was always going to have organic certification, but vegan was Mathilde’s choice.
Mouton Cadet White 2023 by Nathan Sereys de Rothschild
Nathan lends his name to a wonderfully bright and fresh white wine made from Sauvignon Blanc, a flagship Bordeaux grape variety. A student at the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute in New York, Nathan wanted a wine that takes wing like a great piece of music. Mouton Cadet White x Nathan is an airy, fruit forward and elegant wine.
Mouton Cadet 2023 Red by Pierre Ögren de Rothschild
Inspired by Bordeaux’s history, Pierre has chosen to lend his first name to a red wine made with another flagship grape variety, Merlot. Using modern low temperature vinification techniques, the wine breaks with tradition and can even be enjoyed slightly chilled. Sharing the same outlook as his cousins, Pierre was looking for a modern, environmentally friendly and companionable wine.
Available from spring 2024, this new collection of wines will be priced at SRP $17.99, and offers a creative take on Bordeaux wines: fruit forward, easy drinking, respecting grape varieties and terroirs, organic and vegan. The wines will be available across the US through Mouton Cadet’s importer, Turquoise Life.
