The family-owned company Baron Philippe de Rothschild and Ryder Cup Europe have formally announced Mouton Cadet as the official wine of the 2018 Ryder Cup.
Founded in 1930 by the late Baron Philippe de Rothschild, Mouton Cadet is the world’s leading Bordeaux AOC wine. The goal of Baron Philippe was to market high-quality wine to a world of burgeoning quality-conscious, wine consumers. Mouton Cadet found instant success, and is now sold in 150 countries worldwide.
Speaking of the partnership with the Ryder Cup, grandson of the Baron, Philippe Sereys de Rothschild, who joined the two captains at the 2018 One Year to Go Celebrations, said: “I am delighted that Mouton Cadet will be served as the official wine at the 2018 Ryder Cup. Such a prestigious and well-known international golf competition is the perfect partner to Mouton Cadet, which has a worldwide reputation for high quality wines. It is therefore a great pleasure for me to announce that a special cuvée dedicated to the 2018 Ryder Cup will be launched in March next year. The pursuit of excellence on the golf course fits perfectly with our values as winemakers, and the camaraderie, sportsmanship and entertainment during every competition is the perfect setting for our wines.”
