✨ Technical Specifications
Crafted by the legendary house of Baron Philippe de Rothschild, the 'Agneau Rouge' (meaning 'Lamb') pays homage to the family's historic connection to Mouton. This accessible Bordeaux AOC red is designed to showcase the round, fruit-forward elegance of the region without the need for decades of cellaring. It is typically a harmonious blend dominated by Merlot, which provides supple plum and red berry flavors, complemented by Cabernet Sauvignon for structure and a touch of spice. Vinified primarily in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats to preserve its vibrant fruit character, this wine offers an inviting introduction to the classic Bordeaux style, balancing soft tannins with a fresh, approachable finish.
🍾 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.
