Depth and drive define Le Petit Mouton 2022, a remarkably serious second wine bursting with dense cassis and ripe blackberry layered with dark chocolate, roasted coffee bean and a hint of tobacco spice. The palate is full and concentrated yet polished, with firm, fine-grained tannins and a long, persistent finish that clearly signals this is built for aging rather than easy early drinking.

Le Petit Mouton de Mouton Rothschild is the Cabernet Sauvignon–led second wine of First Growth Château Mouton Rothschild, produced from younger vines on the estate’s deep gravel terroirs in Pauillac. Crafted and aged with the same meticulous methods as the grand vin, it typically delivers a concentrated yet polished style of classic Left Bank claret, marked by dark cassis fruit, cedar, graphite and refined tannins that can age surprisingly well for a second wine.
