Baron Philippe de Rothschild Almaviva 2003, Central Valley (6)
The Producer
Since 1933, Baron Philippe de Rothschild SA, located at Pauillac in the Médoc, has been motivated by a constant ambition: to make the world's finest wines, each in its own category, whether the châteaux wines for which it is responsible – the renowned Château Mouton Rothschild, a First Growth, and its distinguished lieutenants, Château Clerc Milon and Château d'Armailhac – or branded wines, like the famous Mouton Cadet.
Baron Philippe de Rothschild SA has also exported its know-how beyond Bordeaux: to the Pays d'Oc, with a range of varietal wines and, more recently, Baron'arques; to California, with Opus One; and to Chile, with Almaviva.
One of the key factors behind the company's undisputed success is the art of blending, which it practises with exceptional skill. Baroness Philippine de Rothschild, the majority shareholder of Baron Philippe de Rothschild SA, works closely with the executive directors to maintain, modernise and develop the family business.
As well as telling you more about the company, this site gives you access to databases, including tasting notes, Château Mouton Rothschild labels, etc., and offers a number of virtual tours.
We hope you enjoy discovering the world of Baron Philippe de Rothschild.
The Wine
The iconic classic make in a joint venture between Concho y Toro and Mouton Rothschild. A class act that actually starts to look cheap when you compare the quality and purity of fruit against other new world icons. A wine that will hold its own against any old world classic, but with that extra depth of fruit consumers love!
Single Bottle: £45.00
In a case of 12: £42.75
