, Mouton Cadet: Blending terroirs, bonding communities

Ever since its founding, Mouton Cadet has known that great wines require great fruit, and a sustainable future for winegrowers is key to the future of great winemaking.

Since its inception in 1930, Mouton Cadet has been stewarded by the Rothschild family. Baron Philippe de Rothschild was a pioneer, releasing the first ever branded wine from a blend of Bordeaux terroirs. Today, the iconic name is still family-run, with the third generation carrying the ever-innovative brand into a new era.

A trusted community of vineyard experts

As part of its commitment to the highest quality winemaking, Mouton Cadet established long-term contracts with a community of skilled local winegrowers, the backbone of the wines’ exceptional quality. These partnerships, carefully chosen to ensure a genuine expression of terroir, blossomed into lasting bonds.

With 150 winegrowers across the Bordeaux appellations and seven dedicated winemakers, Mouton Cadet is able to source the best possible grapes from throughout the terroirs of Bordeaux. The wines are crafted to be generous and succulent – and most importantly of all, to be enjoyed with others to create lasting memories.
