The 2021 Le Petit Mouton presents a vibrant and refined expression, with aromas of ripe blackcurrants, dark cherries, and crushed violets, layered with graphite, cedar, and subtle spice. The palate is medium to full-bodied, with fine-grained tannins providing structure and depth. Fresh acidity lifts the dark fruit core, while hints of cocoa, tobacco, and a touch of pencil lead add complexity. Balanced and elegant, this vintage showcases precision and purity, leading to a long, mineral-driven finish with a lingering note of cassis and fine oak integration.

An extraordinary First Growth from a standout Pauillac vintage, the 2022 Château Mouton Rothschild delivers immense power paired with refined elegance.

Deep garnet in colour. Blackcurrants, blueberries prunes and strawberries on the nose with a hint of violets. A richly fruited wine – the palate bursts with an explosion of red cherries, strawberries, blackberries with a little black pepper and spice with a beautiful soft texture.

When tasted in early November 1999, the wines were tannic, concentrated and powerful, but very well balanced. Now at 20 years after the vintage, the 2000 holds on to its primary fruit whilst really starting to reveal the classic Musar identity, balancing out the characteristic sweet spice and desiccated fruit notes with more evolved elements of leather, tar, tobacco and a hint of game. These complex aromas and flavours are lifted with a fresh lick of acidity that will ensure the wine will continue to age gracefully for years to come.
