The 2006 Le Petit Mouton is the finest example of this cuvee I have yet tasted. A combination of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Cabernet Franc, and 14% Merlot, its dark ruby/purple color is followed by a wine with sweet tannins, an up-front, precocious personality, loads of fruit and exuberance, and a slightly flamboyant style that gives it considerable sensual appeal. It should drink beautifully for 15 or more years.
There's some fruit and tobacco, but this is a little earthy and funky. Medium-bodied, with soft tannins and a tobacco and berry aftertaste.
Rene Gabriel rates this wine 17/20 points.
