Structure takes the lead in Le Petit Mouton 2023, a firmly sculpted Pauillac packed with ripe blackcurrant, damson and black cherry layered over dark chocolate, roasted coffee and a touch of dried flower and spice. The high Cabernet proportion gives a powerful, compact core and assertive but fine tannins, making the wine feel serious and tight today, yet there is plenty of juicy, savory fruit waiting beneath for those with patience. This is a more classical, less showy vintage that should evolve into a deeply satisfying, quietly luxurious second wine of Mouton Rothschild.

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.
