Mouton Cadet Reserve Saint Emilion

A stunning wine from the almost iconic Mouton Cadet winery. Mouton Cadet's history is impressive and of great significance to the entire wine world. It began in 1853, when Baron Nathaniel successfully sold his Pauillac wines to his hotel guests. He thereby founded the Mouton Rothschild winery. This enormous winery continues to produce legendary wines every year to this day. Baron Nathaniel's grandson, Baron Philippe de Rothschild, took over the winery in the 1920s. He founded Mouton Cadet wines to make Bordeaux wines available to a wider audience.
