"...is this really a second wine? Maybe they should rename it "Le Grand Mouton"?"

Neil Martin for RoberParker.com 

 

Robert Parker points out in the 2006 vintage that "only 44% of the crop made it into the 2006 grand vin, which is the lowest percentage in more than fifty years." That means that more than 50% of the crop went into the second wine. For you and me, that means we get to drink and collect the same fruit, from the same terroir and the same wine making expertise of a Chateau Mouton-Rothschild for half the price!

Hurry and add these to your cellar before they are all gone or as Neal Martin has said "my fear is that many will have already been consumed!" Le Petit Mouton de Mouton-Rothschild Superb second wine of Mouton!

Critical Acclaim:

96 Points James Suckling | 2015 Le Petit Mouton de Mouton Rothschild

"Extremely perfumed with dried flowers and dark berries such as plums and cherries. Sandalwood, too. Full body, integrated tannins and chocolate, walnut and cedar character. Goes on for minutes. Superb second wine of Mouton." JS Feb 2018
"Wonderful delineation here, very mineral-driven with a bravura of a finish. It begged the question...is this really a second wine? Maybe they should rename it "Le Grand Mouton"? It is amazing to think how humdrum vintages of this were in the 1990s. This is a completely different wine to those." NM for WA Apr 2016

95 Points James Suckling | 2009 Le Petit Mouton de Mouton Rothschild 

"Plenty of bitter chocolate character, but also a lot of cassis and flesh, the abundant fine tannins making this big, ripe wine very attractive. Long, imposing, but beautifully balanced finish." JS Feb 2019

"The 2006 Le Petit Mouton was a bit of a revelation. It displays more intense red fruit compared to its Pauillac peers with pencil shavings littered over raspberry and strawberry. There is such an infectious sense of joie-de-vivre here. The palate is medium-bodied with fine definition, crisp and tensile with good weight, showing fine elegance with a long, lightly spiced finish that does not seem to go dissipate after a minute. This seems to be blossoming in bottle, though my fear is that many will have already been consumed!" NM for WA May 2016

"Ever since owner Philippine de Rothschild put Philippe Dalhuin in charge at Mouton in 2004 there has been a dramatic reduction in the amount of wine produced under the Mouton Rothschild label. The selection process has been ratcheted up to the level of other first-growths, and that is reflected in what is clearly the greatest Mouton produced since 1982 and 1986. As I indicated in my barrel tasting notes, only 44% of the crop made it into the 2006 grand vin, which is the lowest percentage in more than fifty years." RP Feb 2009
