{"product_id":"bordeaux-baron-philippe-de-rothschild-2001","title":"Mouton Cadet Bordeaux Baron Philippe de Rothschild 2001","description":"\u003cp\u003eMouton Cadet Rouge is a French red wine created more than half a century ago by Baron Philippe de Rothschild. The company, formed in 1933, is renowned for the modernization that led to Château Mouton Rothschild being elevated to Premier Grand Cru Classé in 1973—the only change ever made to the historic 1855 classification. The family's anchor properties are located in Pauillac, encompassing classified estates such as Château d'Armailhac and Château Clerc Milon. At the time of this release, the family firm was presided over by Baroness Philippine de Rothschild.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wine is produced under the Appellation Bordeaux Contrôlée, the overarching classification covering the entire Bordeaux region in southwestern France. Situated by the Atlantic coast in the Gironde department, Bordeaux has been exporting wine since the Middle Ages. The maritime climate is heavily influenced by the Atlantic Ocean, the Gironde estuary, and the Garonne and Dordogne rivers, which regulate the temperature across the varied soils of gravel, clay, limestone, and sand. The 2001 vintage in this area is described as elegant and acid-driven, achieving a score of 89 points.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollowing the tradition of \"L'Art de L'Assemblage,\" the company's expert winemakers craft this wine by blending a carefully chosen selection of wines from traditional wine-growing areas across Bordeaux. The blend is based on Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc. Cabernet Sauvignon is widely cultivated in regions like Bordeaux, California, Washington, and Tuscany, and is known for providing structure to red wines. Merlot, frequently grown in Bordeaux, California, Washington, and Northern Italy, is a classic blue grape, while Cabernet Franc is traditionally found in the Loire Valley, Bordeaux, and California.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeyond their historic roots in France, the Rothschild family has been instrumental in expanding French wine expertise internationally. They established notable partnerships, including Opus One in Napa Valley with Robert Mondavi in 1979, and Almaviva in Chile with Concha y Toro in 1997, setting benchmarks for international winemaking collaborations.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Baron Philippe de Rothschild","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57070961393990,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3478\/1950\/files\/generated-547_54af6445-2987-42ad-8e7e-f0b9e0b80395.jpg?v=1785935036","url":"https:\/\/bottleswithhistory.eu\/products\/bordeaux-baron-philippe-de-rothschild-2001","provider":"Bottles With History","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
