Le Petit Mouton Rothschild 2021
301.14₣ (Inc. VAT bot. 75 cl.) / Spain
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2021 Le Petit Mouton wafts from the glass with rich aromas of dark berries, cherries and cassis mingled with licorice, mint and dark chocolate. Medium to full-bodied, rich and layered, it's dense and velvety, with sweet tannins and a long, expansive finish. As readers may remember, since Mouton-Rothschild itself this year derives exclusively from the two plateaus that always make up the core of the blend, the Petit Mouton benefits from the inclusion of parcels that often make it into the grand vin.

Description
Le Petit Mouton de Mouton Rothschild is the second wine of the prestigious Château Mouton Rothschild, produced from grapes from younger vines in the premium vineyard. Harvesting takes place in small open baskets, and fermentation takes place in oak vats. Maturation takes place in oak barrels in the traditional manner, allowing the wine to express the elegance and richness of a great Pauillac. The winemaking process guarantees a high quality end product, a true reflection of the Château's exceptional terroir.
The grape varieties that make up Le Petit Mouton de Mouton Rothschild are mainly Cabernet Sauvignon (72%), Merlot (24%) and Cabernet Franc (4%). The vineyard is characterised by its gravelly soils, which provide excellent drainage and contribute to the quality of the grapes.
Taste
Le Petit Mouton de Mouton Rothschild has a classic balance, characteristic of vintages from a generation ago, due to the specific climatic conditions. The nose is remarkable for its expressive and complex aromas, with notes of chocolate, oak, plum and coffee. On the palate, the wine offers a complex and layered sensation, with a well-defined tannic structure. Despite its strength and majesty, it remains smooth and refined. What really sets this wine apart is its lingering aftertaste, which prolongs the sensory experience long after the first sip.
