Le Petit Mouton Rothschild is the beautiful second wine from the Mouton Rothschild estate. An illustrious estate, with a fascinating history, Château Mouton-Rothschild has been making wine since Roman times. Under the management of the Rothschild family since 1853, it wasn’t until 1922 when Baron Philippe de Rothschild took the helm, that the estate transformed. Le Petit Mouton Rothschild made its debut in the 1993 vintage. It’s made with grapes from younger vines in the First Growth vineyard, and is harvested, vinified and bottled with the same attention to detail as the grand vin. The result is a silky, soft and delicate wine, that will often contain flavours and aromas of blackberries, coffee and mocha.

Neal Martin

The 2016 Mouton-Rothschild is extremely pure on the nose, with mineral-rich black fruit, cedar and violet scents, very delineated and focused, gaining intensity with each swirl of the glass. The palate is medium-bodied, with svelte tannins, fine acidity, very smooth and harmonious, yet maybe not as complex and detailed as the very best '16s; yet there is a fluidity to this that is wonderful. Tasted blind at the Southwold 10-Year-On tasting.

Composed of 83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot, 1% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot, the 2016 Mouton Rothschild has an opaque garnet-purple color. WOWa the nose explodes from the glass with powerful blackcurrant cordial, black raspberries, blueberry pie and melted chocolate notions, plus suggestions of aniseed, camphor, lifted kirsch and the faintest waft of a subtle floral perfume in the background. Full-bodied, concentrated, bold and totally seductive in the mouth, it has very fine-grained, silt-like tannins, while jam-packed with tightly wound fruit layers, finishing in this wonderful array of mineral sparks. Magic.

Tasted blind. Warm, rich and welcoming on the nose. Very alluring. Lovely wine with real detail, and sufficient grip too. (JR)
