About the Winery
Baron Philippe de Rothschild created the Mouton Cadet brand in 1930. The wine was produced from grapes that he felt weren’t worthy of the Chateau Mouton-Rothschild name, and despite the lack of prestige the wine became popular. As a result de Rothschild would begin sourcing grapes from a larger area and continued to produce a modestly priced and generic Bordeaux wine. Mouton Cadet continues to flourish to this day producing white, red and rose wines.

Tobin’s Review 3 out of 5
Mouton Cadet Bordeaux 2009 is a dry but smooth red wine. The nose is similar to a Cabernet Sauvignon, but the wine is not really oaked (which explains the price.) I taste a hint of green pepper in the wine which I actually like.
