[1][2] Created by Baron Philippe de Rothschild, Mouton Cadet wine is produced through the assembly of a variety of grapes, from several Bordeaux region appellations.
Over the following years, the wine came to include grapes from an even greater area, until production stopped with World War II.
The wine was reborn after the war, and gained a Bordeaux AOC classification in 1947, steadily increasing in popularity due to a reputation of consistent quality.
[5] In later years the wine relies heavily on grapes sourced from the Entre-Deux-Mers district.
In the 1970s, a white wine was added to the label, expanding the brand's concept, which resulted in 1975 sales of more than 3 million bottles worldwide.
