Château Mouton Rothschild Petit Mouton 2023

Château Mouton Rothschild’s Le Petit Mouton is the estate’s distinguished second wine, offering a remarkably polished expression of Pauillac pedigree at a more approachable level than the grand vin. The 2023 vintage showcases the signature depth, precision, and elegance associated with one of Bordeaux’s most iconic names, while remaining wonderfully expressive in its youth.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, Le Petit Mouton 2023 shows a deep purple hue, hinting at its concentration and vitality. The nose opens with ripe black fruits, spice-laced oak, crushed stone, graphite, and a refined floral lift as it breathes, all wrapped in a classic Pauillac framework. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied, layered, and impeccably balanced, with clean fruit, fine structure, and a graceful, precise finish. This is a wine with the depth to evolve beautifully over time, and it should drink well over the next two decades.

Production
Produced in Pauillac in the heart of Bordeaux’s Left Bank, Le Petit Mouton benefits from the gravelly terroirs that define the region’s finest Cabernet-driven wines. The blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot reflects the estate’s careful selection and house style, with vinification aimed at preserving purity, structure, and aromatic detail.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with roasted lamb, beef fillet, duck breast, game, and dishes featuring mushrooms or truffle. Serve at 16–18°C and decant for about 1–2 hours if drinking young, especially to allow the wine’s aromatic complexity and texture to fully unfold.
