Le Petit Mouton de Mouton Rothschild – Pauillac – Red – 1982:

 

Le Petit Mouton de Mouton Rothschild: The Essence of Pauillac Luxury

As the second wine of the legendary First Growth, Château Mouton Rothschild, Le Petit Mouton offers connoisseurs a privileged gateway to the estate’s exceptional terroir. Crafted from a selection of the Château’s younger vines, it is vinified and aged with the identical rigor and attention to detail as the Grand Vin. Named after Baroness Philippine de Rothschild’s private residence on the estate, this wine delivers the classic elegance and complexity of Pauillac with a more approachable profile.

Tasting Notes

• Color: A deep, crimson-hued garnet.
• Nose: An intense and complex aromatic bouquet, featuring pronounced notes of ripe blackcurrant, raspberry, and mint, complemented by subtle hints of cedar, graphite, and sweet baking spice.
• Palate: The wine shows a dense, muscular attack leading into a full-bodied, juicy mid-palate. Ripe, silky tannins provide a refined structure and impressive length. The finish is balanced, lingering on notes of spice and minerality, showcasing the purity of the fruit.

Pairing & Service

This magnificent Cabernet-dominant blend demands a dish of equal stature. Decant for an hour, especially for younger vintages, and serve at 62°F (17°C). It is a luxurious experience that elevates any fine dining occasion.
