2021 Le Petit Mouton, Pauillac

2021 Le Petit Mouton, Pauillac

Tasted April 2022. Muscular and powerful with broad black fruits on the palate and a spiciness. Crunchier red fruits on the finish and some floral notes. A lot of Cabernet character and a classic tannin structure.

Tasting notes

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.
