Mouton Cadet is the product of Baron Philippe de Rothschild. It is not good enough to be called Chateau Mouton Rothschild, so they called it Mouton Cadet (cadet meaning younger son in French). It is a Bordeaux AOC with grapes from Saint-Estephe and Haut-Medoc, plus other regions.
We ordered a bottle at Morton's - The Steakhouse, and it went perfectly with our porterhouses and rib eyes. A luscious, deep red hue, and a perfect balance of fruit and tannins. It is a blend of 65% merlot, 20% cabernet sauvignon, and 15% cabernet franc.
