Le Petit Mouton 2021 Pauillac

This is the second wine of Château Mouton Rothschild, a 2021 Pauillac made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. The grapes are hand-harvested from vineyards around Château Mouton Rothschild and the wine is aged in French oak barrels. Gravel and sand over limestone soils give power, minerality and an elegant structure. The nose offers blackcurrant, dark cherry, cedar, graphite and a touch of spice. The palate is full and elegant, with ripe dark fruit, fine-grained tannins and discreet oak, leading to a structured, silky mouthfeel, fresh acidity and a long, persistent finish.
