Three generations of the Rothschild family have refined this wine ever since, with one unwavering rule: quality always comes first, from vineyard to glass. What exactly is Mouton Cadet Bordeaux Rouge? It's a classic Bordeaux AOC, smooth and fruity, with a modern style that blends red and black fruit, subtle spice, and an elegant structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"632\" data-end=\"657\"\u003e Vineyards and region\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp data-start=\"659\" data-end=\"1470\"\u003eMouton Cadet Bordeaux Rouge comes from France, from the Bordeaux region, using grapes selected from various areas within the appellation. The wine is the result of collaboration with a network of approximately 150 winegrowers who collectively cultivate around 1,500 hectares of vineyards. These vineyards are situated on a variety of soils, from clay-limestone to gravel and sand, allowing the blend to truly showcase the diversity of Bordeaux. All Mouton Cadet winegrowers operate with HVE 3 certification (High Environmental Value), a French sustainability label that guarantees biodiversity, reduced chemical use, and environmentally friendly vineyard practices. This means you'll find a wine in your glass that not only represents Bordeaux but also a conscious, modern way of working in the vineyard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"1472\" data-end=\"1499\"\u003e Vinification and maturation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp data-start=\"1501\" data-end=\"2390\"\u003eMouton Cadet Bordeaux Rouge is all about consistent quality and a distinctive style. The grapes are harvested plot by plot and vinified separately in stainless steel tanks at the Mouton Cadet Winery in Saint-Laurent-Médoc. This plot-by-plot approach allows the winemaking team to precisely select which lots will be included in the final blend. The wine is then aged for approximately 16 months, combining tank aging and controlled contact with oak aromas, ensuring a beautiful balance between texture and fruit. The alcohol content is around 12.5%, giving the wine power and structure without becoming heavy. The technical direction of the Mouton Cadet wines is Jérome Aguirre, director of the Mouton Cadet Winery, who and his team taste, adjust, and monitor the blends to ensure the Mouton Cadet Bordeaux Rouge style remains recognizable year after year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"50\"\u003e Winemakers behind Mouton Cadet Bordeaux Rouge \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul data-start=\"52\" data-end=\"1199\"\u003e\n\n\u003cli data-start=\"52\" data-end=\"234\"\u003e\n\n \u003cp data-start=\"54\" data-end=\"234\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"54\" data-end=\"104\"\u003eJean-Pierre Charrut – Saint-Quentin-de-Caplong\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"104\" data-end=\"107\"\u003e Supplying grapes for Mouton Cadet since 2006, with carefully selected plots that return in the blend year after year. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli data-start=\"236\" data-end=\"430\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-start=\"238\" data-end=\"430\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-start=\"238\" data-end=\"302\"\u003eGuillaume and Mathieu Fortain – Limestone slopes (58.5 ha)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"302\" data-end=\"305\"\u003e Two brothers who are already the fourth generation on the family estate and manage 58.5 hectares of vineyards on calcareous soils. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli data-start=\"432\" data-end=\"633\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-start=\"434\" data-end=\"633\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-start=\"434\" data-end=\"481\"\u003eStéphanie Chollet – Entre-Deux-Mers (16 ha)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"481\" data-end=\"484\"\u003e Traded a career in insurance for her own 16-hectare vineyard in Entre-Deux-Mers and operates fully HVE-certified. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli data-start=\"635\" data-end=\"823\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-start=\"637\" data-end=\"823\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-start=\"637\" data-end=\"675\"\u003eLaurent Zecchini – Juillac (27 ha)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"675\" data-end=\"678\"\u003e Manages 27 hectares of vineyards above the Dordogne, where he grows grapes that contribute structure and ripe fruit to Mouton Cadet Bordeaux Rouge. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli data-start=\"825\" data-end=\"1009\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-start=\"827\" data-end=\"1009\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-start=\"827\" data-end=\"874\"\u003eQuentin Terrigeol – Saint-Ciers-sur-Gironde\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr data-start=\"874\" data-end=\"877\"\u003eWith its plots in the north of the Bordeaux region, it contributes to the fresh, fruity components in the final blend. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli data-start=\"1011\" data-end=\"1199\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-start=\"1013\" data-end=\"1199\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-start=\"1013\" data-end=\"1040\"\u003eCédric Bégard – Laroque\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1040\" data-end=\"1043\"\u003e Works with HVE-certified vineyards around Laroque, supplying grapes that help maintain consistent quality and the recognisable Mouton Cadet style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"2392\" data-end=\"2417\"\u003e Grape composition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-start=\"2419\" data-end=\"2539\"\u003e Mouton Cadet Bordeaux Rouge is a classic Bordeaux blend of 88% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4% Cabernet Franc.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-start=\"2541\" data-end=\"2725\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-start=\"2541\" data-end=\"2562\"\u003eMerlot – Bordeaux\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2562\" data-end=\"2565\"\u003e Merlot forms the heart of the wine, bringing ripe red fruit, roundness and a soft texture that makes Mouton Cadet so accessible, even without long cellar rest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-start=\"2727\" data-end=\"2932\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-start=\"2727\" data-end=\"2760\"\u003eCabernet Sauvignon – Bordeaux\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2760\" data-end=\"2763\"\u003e Cabernet Sauvignon adds structure, power and dark fruit notes, with a subtle tannic backbone that makes the wine suitable for serving with food.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp data-start=\"2934\" data-end=\"3101\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2934\" data-end=\"2963\"\u003eCabernet Franc – Bordeaux\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2963\" data-end=\"2966\"\u003e Cabernet Franc provides refinement, extra fresh red fruit notes and a light spiciness that give the aroma and taste more depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"3103\" data-end=\"3136\"\u003e Tasting notes and serving suggestions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp data-start=\"3138\" data-end=\"3924\"\u003eMouton Cadet Bordeaux Rouge has a deep red color with purple hues. The nose opens with ripe aromas of red fruit, particularly cherry and wild strawberry, which, when swirled, reveal blackberry and blueberry notes. The palate offers a balanced mix of red and black fruits, supported by mild spiciness and a well-integrated structure. The finish is full, robust, and distinctly fruity, with enough freshness to leave you wanting more after one sip. This Bordeaux is best served between 15 and 17°C (59-63°F), perhaps decanted shortly beforehand. At the table, Mouton Cadet Bordeaux Rouge pairs perfectly with pasta bolognese, grilled chicken, roast pork, savory casseroles, or a platter of soft and semi-hard cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"3926\" data-end=\"3942\"\u003e Awards \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul data-start=\"3944\" data-end=\"4043\"\u003e\n\n\u003cli data-start=\"3944\" data-end=\"3993\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-start=\"3946\" data-end=\"3993\"\u003e 2022 – 93 points (Decanter, tasted in 2024) \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli data-start=\"3994\" data-end=\"4043\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-start=\"3996\" data-end=\"4043\"\u003e 2023 – 90 points (Decanter, tasted in 2025)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Walraven","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42775935254607,"sku":"11646","price":12.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/MoutonCadetBordeauxRood.webp?v=1762844299","url":"https:\/\/perfectewijn.be\/en\/products\/mouton-cadet-bordeaux-rouge","provider":"Perfecte Wijn","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
