Rupert & Rothschild Baron Edmond 2004

The Rupert & Rothschild partnership was formed in 1997 by the late Dr Anton Rupert of South Africa and the late Baron Edmond de Rothschild of France. Their vision and guiding principles were carried forward by their sons the late Anthonij Rupert and Baron Benjamin de Rothschild. Today the Rupert family and Baron Benjamin de Rothschild share this prestigious partnership in wine production.

Like many acclaimed Bordeaux wineries in France that release one pinnacle red wine, we created Baron Edmond as our flagship vintage – the crown of our range. And we named him after one of our own founders, Baron Edmond de Rothschild, to serve as a tribute to his legacy. Cabernet-Merlot blend - 54/46 in very extracted 2004. Rich, complex, jammy aromas rounded off with showy oak (80% new). Heady 15% alcohol points to power rather than finesse.
