✨ 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.
