In 1973, the famous Chateau Mouton Rothschild was the only chateau to be promoted to a higher category and joined the elite of the Premiers Grand Crus. The wines of Baroness Philipine de Rothschild are known for the changing label per harvest, each time with an image by a different artist. The character of the wine is characterized by red berries and cedar wood, with an increase in the share of more than 10% Merlot in the last decade. Château Mouton-Rothschild is world famous. It is located in Bordeaux in Pauillac, on the border with Saint-Estèphe. It is located next to another famous wine estate: Château Lafite-Rothschild. The winery covers 74 hectares and grows a lot of Cabernet Sauvignon, but also Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Especially when fully ripe, the Mouton-Rothschild can be recognized 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 Mouton's total 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, blueberries and then there are several layers with notes 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 that the word Le Petit does not describe it.
