  • Neal Martin, April 2024, Score: 91-93

    The 2023 Le Petit-Mouton is aged in 50% new oak. It has an intense nose, mainly black fruit commingling with briar and light estuarine scents. Perhaps the aromatics feel a bit "secretive" at present. The palate is medium-bodied with a concentrated entry. This is a voluminous and powerful Pauillac for the vintage, driven by that 79% Cabernet Sauvignon. There’s a fine bitter edge on the finish; give this Le Petit Mouton three to five years in bottle. Drink 2028-2045.

  • Wine Advocate, April 2024, Score: 91-93

    Aromas of dark berries, cassis and cigar wrapper introduce the 2023 Le Petit Mouton, a medium-bodied, fleshy wine with good depth and density, its lively core of fruit framed by sweet, powdery tannins, concluding with a penetrating finish. It's a blend of 79% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot.

  • Antonio Galloni, April 2024, Score: 93-95

    The 2023 Le Petit-Mouton is fabulous. It could easy be a Grand Vin at another address. Rich, ample and beautifully resonant in the glass, the 2023 impresses with its notable palate presence. Dark red cherry, pomegranate, cinnamon, rose petal and new leather are some of the many notes that build. The 2023 is seriously impressive. Wow! Drink 2027-2043.

  • James Suckling, April 2024, Score: 95-96

    This is a tighter and more compact Petit Mouton with a full-bodied, compact palate that is framed nicely by the tannins. Savory and juicy. Structured. Contained. 79% cabernet sauvignon, 12% merlot, 7% cabernet franc and 2% petit verdot. Better than 2022?

  • Goedhuis Waddesdon, April 2024, Score: 93-95

    This is a beautifully bright and fresh-faced Petit Mouton alive with energy and expressiveness. The nose is open-knit with fresh strawberries and red plum, while there is a darker underbelly of blackcurrants and delicate earthiness that adds a sense of gravitas to the wine’s youthful front. The fruits return on the palate where the density and chewy tannins are hosed down by wonderful freshness on the finish.

  • Matthew Jukes, April 2024, Score: 18+

    There is a hint of more musculature than expected on display in this restless wine. Gone is the velvety sheen that a warmer vintage brings, and in place, we have more tension and glowering intent. The perfume is spectacular, with trademark Mouton Cabernet thundering along at pace, then the tannins come in and bring the experience to a standing stop. There is power matched with grace here, and yet it appears that the story on the palate follows the timeline of the vintage: generous and then firm and cool. This is a mouth-wateringly spicy ‘The Other Mouton’, my nickname for this wine because there is nothing ‘Petit’ about it in 2023, and while it fires in all directions, there is trademark distinction here which will delight Mouton fans. This is not a diminutive Mouton in 2023, but another interpretation, and, interestingly, it comes from almost identical plots as last year’s wine, so perhaps L’Autre Mouton might catch on!

Mouton Rothschild is the only wine to have been elevated to First Growth status since the original classification of the Medoc in 1855. The exceptional success and status of Chateau Mouton Rothschild can largely be attributed to one man: Baron Philippe de Rothschild. He recognised the extraordinary potential of the estate and devoted his life to ensuring that potential was realised. His work is now carried on by his charismatic daughter Baroness Philippine, ably assisted by Herve Berland. This most flamboyant and glamorous estate is famous for its artistic connections, embodied in the grand vins's label, redesigned each year by such legends as Picasso, Miro and Warhol. It is also renowned for its impeccably maintained visitor-friendly estate, but its impressive and well-deserved reputation is based above all on the opulence and excellence of its wines.Read less

Region

Pauillac

Due south of St Estèphe lies the appellation of Pauillac, the king of Left Bank communes. It is home to three first growths as well as a plethora of other classified growths. Pauillac's renowned well-draining, gravelly soils enable its dominant grape Cabernet Sauvignon to reach fantastic heights of complexity and concentration. As a result, Pauilac's wines tend to be full-bodied with compact tannins and good freshness. Its aromatics are often what one associates with classic Bordeaux: pencil shavings, black currant and occasional mint. Some of the most famous châteaux of the commune are Latour, Mouton Rothschild, Lafite Rothschild, Pichon Baron, Pichon Lalande and Lynch Bages.
