- Description
The famous Château Mouton Rothschild was promoted to a higher category in 1973, becoming the only château to join the elite Premiers Grand Crus. Baroness Philipine de Rothschild's wines are known for their changing label with each vintage, featuring a different artist each time. The wine's character is characterized by red berry and cedar, with an increase in Merlot content of over 10% in the last decade. Château Mouton-Rothschild is world-renowned. It is located in Pauillac, Bordeaux, on the border with Saint-Estèphe. It is adjacent to another renowned estate: Château Lafite-Rothschild. The estate encompasses 74 hectares and cultivates a significant amount of Cabernet Sauvignon, as well as Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. Especially at full maturity, Mouton-Rothschild is recognizable by its bouquet: pure Cabernet Sauvignon. Le Petit Mouton is the second label of Mouton Rothschild, which consists of 72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Merlot, and 4% Cabernet Franc. Around 26% of the Mouton vineyards are used for Le Petit Mouton. In the glass, the wine has a garnet-red, purplish color. On the nose, Le Petit Mouton opens with ripe, seductive cassis, pressed blackberries, and blueberries, followed by multiple layers of menthol, new leather, and espresso. On the palate, it has a solid frame of grainy tannins and a lively finish. Very impressive, and we think the word Le Petit doesn't quite cover it. This is a 1.5-liter magnum. Even more delicious and with an even longer drinking window . FACT: The wine is stored in our climate-controlled Wine Warehouse, and if you pick it up, you'll often receive a nice discount .
