The Estate and the Vineyard

The terroir is located a few kilometers from the city of Bordeaux, whose vineyard is located on the right bank of the Dordogne. The vineyard of St Emilion, whose name comes from its village «St Emilion», is divided between «Côtes» by a calcareous soil, sometimes even clay-limestone, and «Graves», characterized by a rather sandy and stony soil.

Each plot selected for the production of St Emilion Reserve Mouton Cadet, is followed by the oenologists of Baron Philippe de Rothschild, in order to determine the most optimal date, to start the harvest.

This process allows us to preserve the personality and diversity of each plot and variety, and then to produce a quality blend.

After aging for 16 months, the juices will then be aged in French oak barrels for 4 to 6 months, then bottled.

St Emilion Reserve is an exceptional St Emilion, very often cited by the guide Hachette, and Gault and Millau.
