Tasting notes
Petit Mouton is the second wine of First Growth Pauillac Chateau Mouton Rothschild, an is a fabulous Red Bordeaux in it's own right.
"Deep garnet colored, the 2010 Le Petit Mouton gives up notes of sweaty leather, cherry cough syrup and baked blackcurrants with suggestions of damp soil, cedar chest and menthol. Full-bodied, the palate is decadently fruited with a firm, grainy frame and loads of freshness, finishing earthy." - Robert Parker

More About The Winery
Purchased in 1853 by Baron Nathaniel de Rothschild, Château Mouton Rothschild rose to global fame under the visionary leadership of Baron Philippe de Rothschild, who took charge in 1922. His ambition and innovation forged Mouton’s unique identity, transforming it into one of the most celebrated First Growths (Premier Grand Cru Classé 1973) in Bordeaux.
A defining moment came in 1945, when to celebrate the end of World War II, Baron Philippe commissioned the now-iconic “V for Victory” label. Since then, every vintage has featured a label designed by a world-renowned artist — from Picasso to Warhol — making Mouton Rothschild not only a fine wine but also a collectible work of art.
Located in the heart of Pauillac, on Bordeaux’s Left Bank, the estate spans some of the region’s finest gravel terroirs, planted primarily with Cabernet Sauvignon, supported by Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. The wines are admired for their power, opulence, and extraordinary ageing potential, ranking among the greatest in the world.
