Fresh, organic, vegan and enjoyable, the Mouton Cadet Fresh Collection takes a new approach to wine-drinking with three elegant wines perfect for pre-meal drinks in the city, leisurely alfresco dining and spontaneous get-togethers. With these wines, Mathilde, Nathan and Pierre are boldly and freely following in the footsteps of their great-grandfather baron Philippe de Rothschild who, in 1930 at the age of 28, had already started to revolutionize the wine world. Here, the past becomes the present in three fresh, casually stylish, easy-drinking wines that can be enjoyed anywhere
Baron Philippe de Rothschild was only 28 when he revolutionized the Bordeaux wine world in 1930 by creating a modern and affordable branded wine that he called Mouton Cadet. It was an audacious move by the Baron, a pioneering, free-spirited visionary. Nearly a century later, at the same age as their greatgrandfather when he invented Mouton Cadet, Mathilde, Nathan and Pierre from the fourth generation of the family are in turn bringing a new take on the family legend with a collection of wines in their own image: fresh, committed, casual, and very much of their time. The Mouton Cadet Fresh Collection epitomizes that new energy in the form of organic and vegan wines that are intended to be enjoyed chilled on spontaneous occasions anywhere, from a picnic with friends to an impromptu aperitif, while proudly affirming their Bordeaux heart and heritage. An enjoyable, modern and free-spirited collection that is a nod to the visionary founder.
A Bordeaux red wine to be served chilled? That’s unexpected. And yet that’s precisely what Mouton Cadet Rouge x Pierre is. Organic and vegan, it overturns conventional ideas about Bordeaux red to offer a contemporary, laid-back version that is light, fruit-forward, spontaneous – and to be enjoyed chilled (8 10° C/ 47 50° F). The almost airy texture of this red chilled Merlot makes it an alternative to the usual summer wines. Immediately appealing, it is ideal for sunny days, drinks with friends and simple, generous food in a companionable setting. “It’s the kind of wine I like: simple, lively and perfect for getting together with friends. I often serve it here in the United States, and I love seeing the look of surprise on my guests’ faces when they find out it comes from Bordeaux”, says Pierre Ögren de Rothschild, Mouton Cadet Brand Ambassador in the United States. Mouton Cadet Rouge x Pierre is a new-generation red wine: vibrant, unexpected, refreshing – a fresh, free and joyful vision of the Bordeaux art of living. A FRESH, MODERN AND EASY-DRINKING WINE Made from grapes grown in a selection of organically farmed plots on clay-limestone soil, Mouton Cadet Rouge x Pierre is a modern and luminous interpretation of Bordeaux Merlot. The method used to make the wine is a hybrid of rosé and red techniques that preserve the radiance of the fruit and give a fine, chiseled body quite unlike the traditional powerful structures. After maturing for four months at low temperature, the wine reveals all its freshness. Ruby red with a garnet hue, it initially opens on sage and wild strawberry aromas then goes on with airing to develop an array of red berry fruit notes such as redcurrant, strawberry and raspberry, together with a touch of rosemary. From a fresh and delicate attack on which redcurrant predominates, the palate fills out on strawberry and raspberry flavors, ending in a refreshing finish sustained by red fruit and minty notes. 2023 vintage — AOC Bordeaux — Certified organic and vegan Serving temperature: 8 - 10° C/47-50° F
Mouton Cadet Blanc x Nathan is the essence of a certain lifestyle: casual but chic, connected to nature but also stylish. At a rooftop brunch, an impromptu picnic or watching a sunset, this organic and vegan white is the perfect companion for carefree gatherings, with the freshness of a young and vibrant wine just like the generation who enjoy it. Made from Sauvignon Blanc, it reveals immediately engaging aromas of candied citrus fruit, box and bergamot, followed by a round and bright palate on passionfruit and honeysuckle flavors. Fresh and full of sunshine, it’s ideal for spontaneous, joyful and laidback occasions. 2024 vintage — AOC Bordeaux — Certified organic and vegan
Mouton Cadet Rosé x Mathilde is an invitation to take some time out, relax, and celebrate the fine weather in style. With your feet in the sand or sitting at a café terrace in the sun, shades firmly in place, a delightfully chilled glass in your hand and the Mouton Cadet Sunset State of Mind playlist in the background, this organic and vegan rosé sums up the whole spirit of a relaxed and refined summer. Made from Merlot and carefully crafted to preserve its radiant fruit, the pale pink wine reveals a joyous array of aromas such as raspberry, redcurrant, grapefruit and lychee. At once fresh and round on the palate, reminiscent of freshly picked fruit, it is an unashamedly modern Bordeaux AOC rosé that gives the Riviera mindset an Atlantic makeover. 2024 vintage — AOC Bordeaux — Certified organic and vegan
