Le Petit Mouton is the second wine from Château Mouton Rothschild, the iconic First Growth Bordeaux estate located in the commune of Pauillac. This release is from the 2020 vintage, a blend composed of 72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Merlot, and 4% Cabernet Franc. The 2020 growing season in Bordeaux experienced a relatively mild winter, a warm, dry spring, and an early bud break. The summer started cool and damp but turned hot and dry in August. These conditions led to the production of small, concentrated grapes with intense flavours and exceptional quality.
The 2020 Le Petit Mouton has less than 13% alcohol. It has an intense bouquet with black fruit, freshly-tilled loam, light estuarine scents and a touch of pressed violets. Very delineated and focused. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, wonderful acidity and tension, very focused and mineral-driven towards the finish that is persistent. Graphite notes linger on the aftertaste. Superb. - Neil Martin - The 2020 Le Petit Mouton has a seductive bouquet with a mixture of red and black fruit, cedar and pencil lead, seeming to gain precision in the glass—very classic in style. The palate is medium-bodied with a sweet core of cassis and blackberry fruit, very composed and very pure. A cashmere-textured finish fans out gloriously. This is a seriously fine Pauillac for long-term cellaring (written before its identity was revealed). Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting.

Chateau Mouton Rothschild

Chateau Mouton Rothschild

The prestigious Château Mouton Rothschild estate is home to the world-renowned First Growth of the same name, in addition to a second red wine, Petit Mouton and a white wine, made in smaller quantities, known as L'Aile d'Argent. Established in 1853 by Baron Nathaniel de Rothschild, the Château pioneered the idea of bottling their own wine in the 1920s while other properties were still selling and exporting in barrel. A Second Growth until 1972, the winery was officially elevated to the high rank of Bordeaux classification in 1973 after much campaigning by the famous Baron Philippe de Rothschild.

Cabernet Sauvignon that takes pride of place in the wines of Mouton Rothschild, with smaller percentages of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Cabernet Sauvignon always predominates in the Mouton red, giving the wine its rich tannins, wealth of aroma, flavour and superb ageing capacity. Meanwhile Merlot, an inseparable companion, brings suppleness, roundness and exceptional length.
