✨ Technical Specifications
Baron Philippe de Rothschild's venture into Chile represents a harmonious marriage of traditional French winemaking expertise and the pristine terroirs of the New World. The 'Mapu' range pays direct homage to Chile's indigenous heritage, taking its name from the Mapudungun word for 'earth' or 'land'. Sourced from select vineyards across the Central Valley, where the cooling influences of the Pacific Ocean and the majestic Andes Mountains create dramatic diurnal temperature shifts, this Sauvignon Blanc is crafted to showcase vibrant, pure fruit expression. To preserve its signature crispness, intense citrus aromas, and bright tropical notes, the wine is fermented and aged exclusively in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats, avoiding any oak contact to deliver a clean, refreshing, and highly accessible expression of Chilean terroir.
🍾 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.
