Chateau Mouton Rothschild Le Petit Mouton 2022

Le Petit Mouton de Mouton Rothschild 2022 is a Pauillac blend led by Cabernet Sauvignon, with Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. Dense black cherry and blackcurrant meet vanilla, graphite, smoke, and chocolate, supported by a silky, creamy structure and a long licorice-accented finish.

Food Pairing: Pairs best with herb-crusted lamb rack, grilled ribeye, braised beef cheeks, or venison.

96 Points - James Suckling

A flamboyant wine with berries, plums, asphalt, orange peel and blue-fruit character. Full-bodied, with rounded medium tannins providing softness and approachability, followed by a long finish. Additional bottle age should allow the wine to come together further.

94 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The 2022 Le Petit Mouton offers cassis, dark berries, espresso roast and cigar-wrapper aromas. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and layered, it is fleshy and concentrated, with powdery tannins and an expansive finish.

93 Points - Wine Enthusiast

This second wine has depth and intensity along with ripe black fruits. It is stylish, showing black-currant character and a tight texture, with further development expected in bottle.
