✨ Technical Specifications
Deeply rooted in the ancestral heritage of Chile, 'Mapu' takes its name from the Mapuche word for 'Earth,' paying homage to the indigenous people who first cultivated this land. Crafted by the legendary French winemaking house Baron Philippe de Rothschild, this Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon represents a harmonious bridge between Old World expertise and New World terroir. Sourced from selected vineyards in Chile's sun-drenched Central Valley, the grapes benefit from a Mediterranean climate with hot days and cool nights influenced by the Andes. A portion of the wine is aged in French oak barrels to impart subtle structure and spice, resulting in a rich, fruit-forward expression that celebrates the vibrant biodiversity and ancient soils of its Chilean origin.
🍾 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.
