✨ Technical Specifications
Named in honor of Baron Nathaniel de Rothschild, who purchased the illustrious Château Mouton Rothschild in 1853, this cuvée is a prestigious tribute to the family's deep-rooted Bordeaux heritage. Produced under the Pauillac appellation, it reflects the classic Left Bank style. The blend is traditionally dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, which provides structure and deep blackcurrant notes, complemented by Merlot for roundness and Cabernet Franc for aromatic complexity. Aged in oak barrels, the wine showcases a harmonious balance of ripe dark fruits, refined tannins, and subtle notes of cedar, spice, and toasted oak, embodying the historic elegance of Pauillac's gravelly terroir.
