Cadet d’Oc takes its name from the French word “cadet,” meaning “the younger child” and also from the wines’ origin: Pays d’Oc is one of six regional Vin de Pays, with d’Oc referring to the Languedoc-Roussillon region. Long known as a wine region with great diversity of climates and soils, the Languedoc is a winemaker’s paradise. By sourcing from a variety of vineyards within the region, the winemaker can create wines of greater depth and character. The Cadet d’Oc wines are made at the same state-of-the-art Baron Philippe de Rothschild winery as Mouton Cadet. Made from 100 percent of their respective varietal, the wines are allowed to mature on the lees with minimum oxygen exchange and strike the right balance between fruit, freshness, structure and roundness.

The wine’s color is brilliant yellow. Subtle aromas of peach and white blossoms combine with a touch of lightly toasted brioche. The full-bodied and ample mid-palate mingles fruitiness and minerality leading to a long and fresh finish. 100 percent Chardonnay.
