Throughout the vine growth cycle, Baron Philippe de Rothschild’s winemakers keep a close eye on the selected parcels and advise our partner-winegrowers on vineyard practices in accordance with the quality requirements for Mouton Cadet. As harvest time approaches, the winemakers taste the grapes parcel by parcel in order to determine the optimum date for picking. A vinification protocol is specifically defined to preserve the personality of each terroir and each grape variety and obtain a rich and varied range of wines for the final blend. This tailored process aims to optimise extraction of the tannins and expression of ripe fruit and toasted notes.Baron Philippe de Rothschild, Mouton Cadet Heritage Rouge</p>
