Baron Philippe de Rothschild has partnered legendary golf course architect and wine lover Robert Trent Jones, Jr. to design this year\u2019s Ryder Cup limited edition. This special Mouton Cadet cuv\u00e9e will be the official wine of the 2016 Ryder Cup at Hazeltine National Golf Club in Chaska, Minnesota (Sept. 27 – Oct 2, 2016).<\/p>\n

\u201cThe relationship between Mouton Cadet and the Ryder Cup began in Europe at the 2014 tournament, played in Gleneagles, Scotland. The partnership aligns two like-minded pursuits – golf and wine – and we are delighted to join the Ryder Cup on this side of the Atlantic for the very first time,\u201d says Hugues Lechanoine, MD of Baron Philippe de Rothschild. \u201cWhen I met Robert Trent Jones, Jr., we discussed links between golf and wine, and he spontaneously said yes to working on the design of our Ryder Cup Cuv\u00e9e. We are delighted to collaborate with him on this exciting and meaningful project.\u201d<\/p>\n

Robert Trent Jones, Jr. started his career as a caddie or \u2018cadet\u2019 of his own father, Robert Trent Jones, Sr. while learning the skills employed by golf architects. Robert Trent Jones and his sons are the only family to have created multiple original Ryder Cup courses. Hazeltine National Golf Club holds a particular significance, as his father created its original design for the 1970 US Open, which Trent Jones, Jr. attended with his family and later celebrated that event with his own original design of the 2015 US Open Championship course, Chambers Bay.<\/p>\n

With that history as inspiration, Trent Jones, Jr. sketched an idea for a bottle design of Mouton Cadet Ryder Cup Special Cuv\u00e9e, a drawing of a caddie \u2013 which serves as a tribute to his father, as well as to Baron Philippe de Rothschild, creator of Mouton Cadet and \u2018cadet\u2019 of his own family.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am extremely honoured to partner with Mouton Cadet on the design of this bottle,\u201d adds Trent Jones, Jr. \u201cWine \u2013 like golf \u2013 is about passion, respect for nature, etiquette and sharing moments in life. A golf course architect and a winemaker share a similar approach to their work: cultivating the land they are given, being true to the environment, enhancing the most pleasing elements of a landscape or a wine, providing either course challenges or tasting pleasures. The Ryder Cup brings together great golfers for a competition where team spirit means more than individual performance, exactly as blending wine brings more than one single varietal to create a special cuv\u00e9e.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Mouton Cadet Ryder Cup Special Cuv\u00e9e will be available from the end of March at Hazeltine National Golf Club, as well as fine retailers in New York. Starting in the summer of 2016, it will also be sold in selected markets around the world including key travel retail and duty-free stores. The wine will also be served at Hazeltine National Golf Club during the 2016 Ryder Cup.<\/p>\n
