Petit Mouton 2nd Vin De Mouton Rothschild Pauillac, 2021

Petit Mouton is the esteemed second wine of Château Mouton Rothschild, offering a refined introduction to one of Pauillac’s most iconic estates. Crafted with the same attention to detail as the grand vin, it delivers classic Bordeaux structure, precision, and depth in a more approachable style. As a modern expression of a legendary property, it carries the pedigree and prestige of First Growth winemaking.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, Petit Mouton 2021 is typically deep ruby in color with a youthful sheen. The nose is elegant and layered, combining blackcurrant, plum, cedar, graphite, violets, and a subtle touch of spice and toasted oak. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with fine tannins, fresh acidity, and a focused core of dark fruit. The Cabernet Sauvignon-led blend brings structure and Pauillac character, while Merlot adds roundness and Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot contribute aromatic lift and complexity. Built in a classic Left Bank style, it should age gracefully for several years, developing more savory and tertiary notes over time.

Production
Petit Mouton is produced in Pauillac, on Bordeaux’s Left Bank, where gravelly soils provide excellent drainage and help Cabernet Sauvignon achieve full ripeness and concentration. The 2021 vintage reflects a careful selection from the estate’s vineyards, with grapes harvested by hand to preserve quality and ensure only the best lots are chosen for the final blend. Vinification is carried out with the same high standards associated with Château Mouton Rothschild, with fermentation and élevage designed to preserve purity, structure, and finesse.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with roast lamb, grilled ribeye, duck breast, beef tenderloin, and dishes with mushrooms or truffle. It is best served at around 16–18°C, and decanting for about 1 hour is recommended if drinking young to allow the aromatics and tannins to open fully.
