92 Robert Parker
The 2014 Le Petit Mouton has quite a sophisticated bouquet with black fruit, black truffle, pencil box and a light marine influence. The palate is medium-bodied with a graphite-driven entry, the acidity very well judged, gently building towards an elegant, supple finish that seems to caress the mouth. These days, Le Petit Mouton is equal to many Grand Vin in Pauillac—a remarkable melioration over the last decade.<br/>
92 Wine Spectator
Very pure, with a gorgeous core of cassis and plum fruit infused with a bright anise note, all draped over a solid but rounded structure. Iron-edged grip pulls everything into tight focus, ending with a mouthwatering echo. Best from 2020 through 2030.
17 Rene Gabriel
Dunkles Granat, recht satt in der Mitte, rubiner Rand. Das Bouquet spricht an, zeigt eine feine, würzige Cabernetnote und Rosenholz im ziemlich sanften Bouquet. Im Gaumen jetzt schon ausserordentlich elegant und ausgeglichen. Ein Wein der eigentlich viel Spass bereiten könnte, wenn da nicht Mouton auf dem Etikett stehen würde und gewisse Kunden oder vor allem Gäste in Nobelrestaurants genau dieses Zusatzattribut suchen. Manchmal muss man halt bereit sein, für etwas weniger auch etwas mehr zu bezahlen. 17/20 2020 – 2036
Producer
Château Mouton Rothschild
Unique among the Bordeaux First Growths, Château Mouton Rothschild has been the only estate to join its high ranking after the famed 1855 Classification. In 1973, Baron Philippe de Rothschild successfully lobbied for the château, resulting in their Premiers Crus status that we know today. While their wines continuously reign top of the Classified Growths, their opulence and approachability paired with dark cassis notes, and powerful tannins has stayed true to their premium blending style. Baron Philippe said it perfectly, upon their elevated rank, “Premier je suis. Second je fus. Mouton ne change”, meaning “First I am. Second I was. Mouton does not change.” For many years, the estate was run by his daughter and art enthusiast, Baroness Philippine until her passing in 2014. Thanks to her, iconic artists like Andy Warhol, Pablo Picasso, Marc Chagall, Keith Haring and Georges Braque have designed several labels for various vintages. In addition to their famous flagship, Mouton Rothschild, and their second label, Le Petit Mouton, a smaller production of a premium white, Aile d’Argent is also tempting.
