Mouton Cadet Rosé

Bright Bordeaux rosé Rosé wines are becoming increasingly popular. No wonder with examples like the Le Rosé de Mouton Cadet from Baron Philipp de Rothschild! The cuvée made from the traditional Bordeaux grape varieties Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon presents itself in the glass with a wonderfully intense pink color. Its bouquet is carried by red fruits such as currants and juicy cherries. On the palate, then, freshly picked, juicy strawberries and raspberries, wonderfully enlivened by a perfectly integrated fine acidity. Try this Rothschild Mouton Cadet Rosé with dishes with seafood or poultry and convince yourself of the quality of this lively rosé wine. The grapes for this French rosé wine come from the Côtes de Blaye wine-growing region, which is located on the right bank of the Gironde to the north, not far from the city of Bordeaux. In addition, another part of the grapes for Le Rosé de Monton Cadet are harvested in the vineyards of the Entre-deux-Mers wine-growing region, which is better known for its excellent white wines. In the cellars of Baron Philipp de Rothschild, the harvest is then made into wine using the traditional saignée process: the grape must is left on the mash for between 12 and 24 hours to give the end product enough tannins, juicy aromas and coloring. Only by spending this longer time on the mash can enough coloring be released from the grape skins to give the wine its crisp pink-rosé color. The must is then drained. The French describe this separation of must and mash with the term "saigner", which translated into English means "bleed". The saignée process owes its name to this process. At the same time, a small proportion of the harvested grapes is immediately pressed and processed into a finely mineral and very fruity rosé wine. This fresh wine is then blended with around three quarters of the saignée wine and bottled within four months of the assemblage. This gives you a top-class wine that you shouldn't miss out on!
