A white wine with perfect balance between freshness, provided by intense citrus notes typical of Sauvignon Blanc, and fruit, from the white fruit flavours that come from Semillon.
Varietal mix
Tasting notes
Glittering pale gold.
Nose
The nose opens on a delicate combination of white blossom and citrus aromas, then goes on with airing to reveal touches of lemongrass, yuzu and grapefruit.
Palate
From a smooth and fresh attack on distinct white blossom notes, the attractively full-bodied mid-palate reveals grapefruit and lemon flavours, while the finish displays touches of tea and apricot typical of Semillon.
The people who make the wine
Jean-Pierre Charrut
Saint Quentin de Caplong Mouton Cadet Red and Mouton Cadet WhiteJean-Pierre is a force of nature. He has enjoyed the good years and resolutely weathered those in which nature has proved capricious. Experience incarnate, he manages his vineyard at Saint Quentin de Caplong, on the right bank of Bordeaux, with a sure eye. He knows his vines and his terroir like the back of his hand, with the quiet confidence born of long practice. He has been a trusted partner of Mouton Cadet since 2006, working hand in hand with the brand’s winemakers. Together they have carefully selected the parcels that enhance the blend of Mouton Cadet Red and Mouton Cadet White. Already close, the relationship has strengthened vintage after vintage, shaped by years of support, regular visits and impassioned discussions. Jean-Pierre shares his know-how, passing on the secrets of his terroirs and his vines. The winemakers, for their part, bring their expertise, their keen eye and a new vision of each vintage.
Pierre Blanc
Flaujagues Mouton Cadet Rosé and Mouton Cadet WhitePierre Blanc tends a 16-hectare vineyard at Flaujagues, beside the Dordogne river in the Côtes de Castillon appellation, where nature and the art of winegrowing come together. The coolness that comes from the river and the morning mist that caresses the vines combine with a unique terroir to give the wines unrivalled freshness, ideal for Sauvignon Blanc. Merlot grapes that contribute to the blend for Mouton Cadet Rosé flourish on his more vigorous vines, more exposed to the sun. Pierre has been a Mouton Cadet partner since 2017. He isn’t only a winegrower, though, because he also has kiwi-fruit orchards and grows cereal crops in an expanding quest for biodiversity to keep ecosystems healthy.
Quentin Terrigeol
Saint-Ciers-sur-Gironde Mouton Cadet White and Mouton Cadet RedQuentin Terrigeol, a winegrower at Saint-Ciers-sur-Gironde in the Côtes de Blaye appellation, loves his terroir. His vineyard benefits from the oceanic influence typical of the region as well as the distinctive Côtes de Blaye terroir, which brings subtle freshness and delicate refinement to the final Mouton Cadet blend. He joined the Mouton Cadet community in 2019 with 12 hectares of vines that produce Sauvignon Blanc and Merlot. For Quentin, being a winegrower is not only about tending vines. It is a human adventure in which exchanges of know-how and the forging of human bonds are just as important as the wine itself. In his partnership with Mouton Cadet he finds a source of inspiration and a community of winegrowers who share the same passion. It is those relationships that give rise to high-quality wines, springing from the harmony between vines, expert knowledge and friendship.
Cédric Bégard
Laroque Mouton Cadet White and Mouton Cadet RedAt the head of a 21-hectare vineyard at Laroque in the Côtes-de-Bordeaux, Cédric Bégard stands out for his meticulous precision and perfectionism. The remarkable elegance of his red wines testifies to his passion for the expression of fruit. His hillside Semillons display exceptional concentration. Another part of his vineyard, beside Laromet Lake, gives his wines a distinctive freshness. Cédric has a deep love of his vines, of nature, of his life as a winegrower. For him, each day spent in the vineyard is a source of well-being and inspiration. Communion with nature leaves him in a state of dreamy, poetic contemplation that makes him even more demanding and precise in his day-to-day work.
