The Story

A luxurious Pauillac with aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, violet, cedar, graphite, and dark chocolate. Richly textured with velvety tannins, vibrant freshness, and remarkable concentration, it delivers exceptional depth, precision, and an elegant, persistent finish worthy of long cellaring.

Food Pairing: Pair with beef Wellington, grilled ribeye, roast lamb, venison, duck breast, truffle dishes, aged Comté, or mushroom risotto.

 

98 Points -

Lots of violets, blackberries, bark and iodine. Oyster shell. Full-bodied. Firm and velvety tannins with a long and satisfying finish. Juicy and reserved at the end. Chewy and soft.

 

95 Points -

The 2020 Le Petit Mouton De Mouton Rothschild is another powerful, concentrated wine, especially in the vintage, and it has a pure, incredibly Cabernet Sauvignon-driven style. Lots of blackcurrants, liquid violets, graphite, and rocky mineral notes emerge on the nose, and this medium to full-bodied, tightly knit, concentrated, structured second wine is going to need a good 4-5 years of bottle age, yet should have two decades of longevity.

93 Points -

A serious Petit Mouton, with inky depths to the color, and plenty of tannic hold and bite, with a lovely bitter chocolate brownie feel that steals up on you through the palate. less sexy and exuberant than in some years perhaps, but this is extremely rewarding, with waves of grilled cocoa beans and intense black fruits.

93 Points -

The 2020 Le Petit Mouton benefits from the fact that the grand vin this year derives almost exclusively from the estate's core gravel terraces, meaning that many parcels that were included in, for example, the 2018 Mouton ended up in the Petit Mouton in 2020. Offering up aromas of cassis, cigar wrapper and violets, it's medium to full-bodied, fleshy and enveloping, with a broad attack and a layered, concentrated mid-palate.
