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.

The winner of the second wines in 2015 is unquestionably the 2015 Le Petit Mouton De Mouton Rothschild, which is a Cabernet Sauvignon dominated blend that includes 17% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc. Ripe, full-bodied, opulent and incredibly satisfying, with loads of crème de cassis, graphite, lead pencil and hints of tobacco, it has more depth and texture than most estate’s top wine.

Wine Advocate

This second label of Mouton Rothschild is composed of 78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc, representing approximately 25% of the crop. Medium-deep garnet purple colored, the 2015 Le Petit Mouton opens with ripe, seductive cassis, crushed blackberries and black forest cake notes giving way to hints of menthol, new leather, chargrill and bouquet garni. Medium to full-bodied with a bright, racy line of refreshing acidity cutting through the generous flavors, it has a solid frame of grainy tannins and a vibrant finish. Very impressive.

Vinous Media

The 2015 Le Petit Mouton feels a little closed on the nose, which displays pronounced undergrowth and sage-like aromas but is not quite endowed with the energy of the excellent Saint-Juliens. The fresh, vibrant palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, crisp acidity and fine precision toward the finish, so that it ends on a high note. Tasted blind at the Southwold 2015 Bordeaux tasting.

This wine is dense and packed with tannins. Its weight and smoky character balance against the generous black currants. Juiciness and acidity go together with the generous structure. Drink from 2024.

Decanter

This is the second wine with the most distinctive personality in the world, in my opinion. You smell and you smile. High Cabernet Sauvignon marks the aromatic and flavour profile, but this is a wine that always manages to make Cabernet show its sexy side. 50% new oak is showing just a touch more than usual perhaps, but it's a very, very enjoyable wine that manages to be enticing and fleshy yet fresh. 4% press wine. Drinking Window 2025 - 2045.

Wine Spectator

Ripe and fresh, with a well-endowed core of cassis, cherry preserve and raspberry paste flavors, moving through steadily and picking up anise, roasted apple wood and bright iron accents along the way. Best from 2020 through 2030.
