Petit Mouton, a great "second" wine
Since the 1993 vintage, Le Petit Mouton de Mouton Rothschild is the second wine of Château Mouton Rothschild and is produced from an exceptional terroir. Made with grapes from a selection of young vines in the illustrious First Growth vineyard, it benefits from the same attention that its elder brother.
Since the 1993 vintage, Le Petit Mouton de Mouton Rothschild is the second wine of Château Mouton Rothschild and is produced from an exceptional terroir. Made with grapes from a selection of young vines in the illustrious First Growth vineyard, it benefits from the same attention that its elder brother.
In order to link the second wine more closely with its famous elder Baroness Philippine de Rothschild has chosen a label inspired by a drawing of the famous poster artist Jean Carlu. It is a true reflection of the style of the wine: the powerfully coloured drawing combines sensual shape with the clean geometries of the Art Deco style. It was made in 1927, following the artist’s design in the same period for the label for Château Mouton Rothschild 1924.
The 2024 Vintage
Climatic conditions:
2024 was a challenging vintage at the beginning and at the end of the growing season, though fortunately the weather turned fair at critical times for quality. The hot, dry and sunny summer caused a water shortage that favoured mature tannins and encouraged the synthesis of anthocyanins. From tilling in spring to harvest, committed people and highly effective technical resources kept us on the front foot and meant that we were never left having to react after the event. That fine-tuned vineyard management helped us to make fresh, highly aromatic, refined and elegant wines that perfectly illustrate the Atlantic expression of the terroirs they come from.
Tasting Notes:
A deep ruby red with purplish highlights, the wine opens on attractively fresh fruit, especially raspberry and blackcurrant, along with touches of mint and graphite. Subtle hints of dark chocolate, mild spice such as nutmeg, and a touch of blond tobacco add depth to the complex and delicate bouquet. The texture is highly precise, taut and athletic, while radiant fruit remains the guiding thread throughout, underpinned by beautifully structured, tongue-tingling tannins, leading into a long and mineral finish that leaves a lingering impression of purity and refinement.
