- 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. The 2015 Petit Mouton is Mouton Rothschild's second estate. This second estate is composed of 78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Merlot, and 5% Cabernet Franc, representing approximately 25% of the vintage. The 2015 Le Petit Mouton is a medium-deep garnet purple in color and opens with ripe, seductive cassis, crushed blackberry, and chocolate cake notes that give way to hints of menthol, new leather, charcoal, and bouquet garni. Medium to full-bodied with a bright, crisp line of refreshing acidity that cuts through the generous flavors, it has a firm frame of grainy tannins and a lively finish. Very impressive.
