With its team’s expertise and our shared vision of excellence, we are very confident that Shaw Ross will continue to build the most efficient network of distributors and play a major part in the performance of Mouton Cadet and our French branded wines on the American market,” says Philippe Sereys de Rothschild, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Baron Philippe de Rothschild.
“We are honored to include Baron Philippe de Rothschild’s French brands in our portfolio as we share the same values of quality and innovation,” says Bruce Hunter, Managing Director of Shaw Ross. “Thanks to our diverse and strategic balance of wines from prestigious family companies, and our field of expertise in ensuring the best and most efficient distribution, we are particularly looking forward to taking Mouton Cadet a step further in its US development.”
Baron Philippe de Rothschild’s branded wines were previously imported by Constellation Brands USA which will work closely with Shaw Ross to ensure a smooth transition in the months to come.
Mouton Cadet was created in 1930 by the legendary Baron Philippe de Rothschild (1902 - 1988). It was first introduced to the American market in the 1950’s with great success. Thanks to Baroness Philippine de Rothschild (1933 - 2014), Mouton Cadet has experienced significant growth thus expanding its international distribution and leadership to 150 markets, becoming the best-selling Bordeaux brand worldwide.
