Mouton Cadet Reserve Pauillac

Just thinking about the name Pauillac makes our mouths water. This municipality has only 5,000 inhabitants, but it's arguably the largest wine-producing city in the world. It was here that the Mouton Rothschild winery was founded in 1853. The name Rothschild has been inextricably linked to wine for a century and a half. The grandfather of pioneer Baron Philippe de Rothschild founded the winery. Philippe himself began producing the widely available Mouton Cadet wines in 1930. He initially started from Pauillac, but he continued to innovate. Today, they have beautiful vineyards in many locations, both in France and abroad.
