✨ Technical Specifications
Baron Philippe de Rothschild's Selection Agneau Blanc is an elegant testament to the art of Bordeaux blending, designed to offer an accessible yet sophisticated expression of the region's white winemaking heritage. The name Agneau, meaning lamb, pays a charming homage to the iconic sheep motif associated with the family's legendary estate, Château Mouton Rothschild. Crafted primarily from a classic blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, this wine captures the vibrant energy of the maritime Bordeaux climate. The Sauvignon Blanc provides crisp acidity, citrus zest, and fresh grassy notes, while the Sémillon adds roundness, weight, and subtle honeyed complexity. Vinified in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve its bright fruit character and pristine freshness, it represents an approachable, beautifully balanced daily luxury created under the watchful eye of one of wine history's most celebrated dynasties.
🍾 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.
