2020 Le Petit Mouton de Mouton Rothschild, Pauillac, Bordeaux

Description

Cabernet Sauvignon 72%, Merlot 24%, Cabernet Franc 4%

Energy abounds in this wine, from the vibrancy of its colour, through its heady and almost voluptuous bouquet, ending with a generous, persuasive finish. The alcohol is only a notch above 13%. This allows these sensations to bound across the palate, that is until the rather sophisticated tannins apply some discipline. The Mouton signals are all here: a boldness of red and black fruit, a suggestion of bitter chocolate and some deeply perfumed floral scents. Always a wine of intense pleasure, this year there is also just a suggestion of coyness.

Pauillac's First Growths each have their own unique characteristics: Ch. Lafite Rothschild produces the region’s most aromatically-complex and subtly-flavoured wine, while – with its high percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon – Ch. Mouton Rothschild can produce a decadently rich, fleshy and exotic wine.
