✨ Technical Specifications
Escudo Rojo, translating directly to the Spanish for 'Red Shield' (Rote Schild)—the historic coat of arms of the Rothschild family—represents Baron Philippe de Rothschild's ambitious venture into Chilean winemaking, initiated in 1999. This Pinot Noir Reserva is sourced from cooler microclimates within Chile, particularly the Casablanca Valley, where maritime breezes from the Pacific Ocean temper the South American sun. This unique terroir allows the delicate Pinot Noir grape to ripen slowly, preserving its vibrant acidity and elegant red fruit aromas. Combining traditional French winemaking expertise with Chile's pristine growing conditions, the wine is partially aged in French oak barrels to add subtle spice and structure while maintaining its bright, fruit-forward character.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1933 by the pioneering Baron Philippe de Rothschild, Baron Philippe de Rothschild SA is an internationally revered wine company anchored in Pauillac, Bordeaux. Alongside governing Premier Grand Cru Classé flagship Château Mouton Rothschild, the house crafts benchmark négociant and estate wines extending across Bordeaux, the Languedoc, and Chile's Maipo and Casablanca Valleys. The viticultural approach pairs high-standard sustainable practices—notably Haute Valeur Environnementale (HVE) certification and eco-friendly plot selection—with meticulous varietal expression. Across maritime Médoc gravels, Mediterranean limestone clay, and Pacific-cooled Chilean alluvial deposits, winemakers craft crisp, aromatic, and structured white expressions. Notable bottlings include Bordeaux blends such as Sélection Agneau Blanc and Berger Baron Blanc, Languedoc single-varietals like Viognier and Sauvignon Blanc, alongside Chilean representations like Escudo Rojo Chardonnay Reserva and Las Huertas Chardonnay. Each cuvée reflects the firm's exacting balance of pure fruit vibrancy, textural precision, and classical restraint.
