A really flamboyant wine beginning with lots of berries, plums, asphalt and orange peel before turning to blue fruits. Full-bodied and medium round tannins give a softness and drinkability. Long finish. Give it three to four years to come together but already gorgeous. Hard not to drink now.

Varietal Red Bordeaux

There are few regions in the world with stricter regulations in regards to wine production and grape varietals than those found in Bordeaux, France. Here, in the home of the world's finest wines, the type and quality of grapes used is of utmost importance, and the legendary wineries which work on the banks of the Gironde river have mastered the careful art of juice blending to find the perfect balance for their produce. Whilst there are six 'official' Bordeaux grapes, the two key varietals for almost every fine Bordeaux wine are Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and with good reason. Whilst Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are renowned for their acidity and astringency, strong fruit and spice flavors and full body, Merlot grapes are notably rounded, soft, fleshy and lighter on tannin. The combination of these two varietals, along with a small percentage of (commonly) Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc, is the perfect balancing act â€“ the two grape varietals cancel out each others weaker points, and accentuate all that is good about the other.

Up there with the top second wines in the vintage, the deep purple-hued 2022 Le Petit Mouton De Mouton Rothschild offers up textbook Pauillac (and Mouton) notes of ripe black fruits, spicy wood, crushed stone, and graphite, with a terrific floral character with air. It's medium to full-bodied, pure, layered, and flawlessly balanced. Drink bottles over the coming two decades.

WA 94pts

Wine Advocate

92-94 Representing some 29% of the estate's production this year, the 2022 Le Petit Mouton shares much of the character of the grand vin, offering up a rich bouquet of cassis, dark berries, espresso roast and cigar wrapper, followed by a medium to full-bodied, velvety and layered palate that's fleshy and concentrated, with powdery tannins and an expansive finish.

92-94 Barrel sample. Mouton's second wine is powerful and dense, with some powerful tannins. Dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, the wine is certainly rich and concentrated.

DC 94pts

Dark, brooding nose of espresso, bitter chocolate, cassis, and toast. Plump and lively, with juicy cherry, chewy fruit, and tobacco. Broad and expansive on the palate, filling the mouth with bold ripeness. Tannins are creamy, framing the structure beautifully. This exudes power and shows exuberance from the warm vintage, packing a punch with liquorice and spice. Pent-up energy, still settling, but a well-constructed, serious second wine with personality. Bottled in June. 3.83pH. 60% new oak.

The 2022 Le Petit Mouton has a well-defined bouquet with graphite-tinged black fruit that gains intensity in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, quite peppery in style but there is ample sapidity and freshness on the finish. Very fine. Tasted blind at the Southwold tasting in London.

This is 71% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot, the élevage in 60% new oak, with a medium toast for most barrels, and 40% used oak barrels. A glorious nose, delicately mineral blackcurrant fruits swirled with notes of cigar box, toasted sesame seed and tobacco, perhaps pyrazine influenced, feeling very typical of the Mouton style, perhaps reminiscent of the Mouton-Rothschild of old. There follows a remarkably restrained character on the palate, with a modest texture at the start, with dark and sinewy fruits emerging through the middle, with layers of dried blackcurrant, olive, toast and currant, with a powdery and finely integrated core of tannins which add a real energy, and balanced acidity. Long and simmering with integrated and tight-knit tannins, this is a really delightful Petit Mouton which will drink well ten years from now. The alcohol is 13.89% on analysis, with 14% on the label.
