Le Petit Mouton de Mouton Rothschild 2013 Chateau Mouton Rothschild

Professionelle Bewertungen

Robert Parker (89)

The 2013 Le Petit Mouton, one of the go-to second labels under winemaker Philippe Dhalluin, has an attractive blackberry, raspberry coulis and bay leaf scented bouquet that is simple but fresh and well defined. The palate is medium-bodied and initially angular in the mouth. The sharp acidity slight jars at first, although there are attractive blackcurrant pastilles that leaven what could have been a hard finish, dominated by the Cabernet Sauvignon that comprised 93% of the blend. This is a great deuxième vin that punches above its weight for the vintage, even if it does not quite match its showing from barrel.

Offers a light, old-school feel, with a dusting of charcoal over the core of dark currant and cherry fruit, while light bay leaf accents and roasted cedar hints frame the finish. Shows good depth.
