Baron Carl is a distinguished Saint-Émilion AOC red wine crafted by the legendary house of Baron Philippe de Rothschild. Named in tribute to Baron Carl de Rothschild, this cuvée embodies the refined elegance of Bordeaux's Right Bank. The wine is sourced from selected parcels across the Saint-Émilion appellation, where clay-limestone soils provide the perfect foundation for Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Merlot dominates the blend, imparting luscious red fruit flavors, roundness, and a velvety texture, while Cabernet Franc contributes structure, aromatic complexity, and subtle spicy notes. Aged traditionally in oak barrels, Baron Carl represents a harmonious bridge between the Rothschild family's rigorous winemaking standards and the approachable, fruit-forward charm of Saint-Émilion's terroir.
