Description

Second wine of Château Mouton-Rothschild, 1er Grand Cru Classé of 1855, Petit Mouton was born with the 1993 vintage. To make it, the property vinified grapes from its youngest vines in oak vats. The wine was made in carefully selected oak barrels. The majority Cabernet Sauvignon gives this dark colored wine a dense and serious character that the Merlot softens making the whole nicely balanced, persistent and charming. A very nice introduction to the style of this icon.

Wine Advocate : “Aromas of dark berries, cassis and cigar wrapper introduce the 2023 Le Petit Mouton, a medium-bodied, fleshy wine with good depth and density, its lively core of fruit framed by sweet, powdery tannins, concluding with a penetrating finish. It’s a blend of 79% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot.”
