2011 Le Petit Mouton, Pauillac

Le Petit Mouton, Pauillac
Perhaps unfairly for the more elegant d’Armailhac, this was the first wine tasted in the Mouton flight. Given the strength of the Grand Vin it is no surprise that this is a deeply intense second wine with great power, concentration and focus. The palate drives a core of bright blackcurrant and darker cassis flavours which are picked up gracefully on the long finish. This is one to buy and enjoy whilst waiting for the Grand Vin.

Le Petit Mouton, Pauillac
Stunning black fruits nose both firm (Cabernet) and seductive (Merlot), good structure over the lush fruit.

Le Petit Mouton, Pauillac
The 2011 Le Petit Mouton (70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Merlot) exhibits attractive, fresh black currant fruit intermixed with notions of forest floor, licorice and wood smoke. It is a lovely, round, fresh wine to drink in its first decade of life.

Mouton Rothschild harvested between September 12-26, producing a final blend of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Franc. One of the vintage’s great wines, it is a candidate for wine of the vintage. According to administrator Philippe Dalhuin, only 54% of the production went into the grand vin.

Le Petit Mouton, Pauillac
A supple red, with charming cherry and plum perfume notes. There's good focus to the cassis and blackberry fruit, which is backed by a stylish finish.
