Le Petit Mouton de Mouton Rothschild 2. Wein von Château Mouton-Rothschild 2020

Flaschenbewertung (April 2023):
"The 2020 Le Petit Mouton benefits from the fact that the grand vin this year derives almost exclusively from the estate's core gravel terraces, meaning that many parcels that were included in, for example, the 2018 Mouton ended up in the Petit Mouton in 2020. Offering up aromas of cassis, cigar wrapper and violets, it's medium to full-bodied, fleshy and enveloping, with a broad attack and a layered, concentrated mid-palate."

"The 2020 Le Petit-Mouton is a gorgeous wine, but it’s quite different in style from many previous editions because of a high proportion (72%) of Cabernet Sauvignon. Silky and aromatic, but also quite reticent, the 2020 is going to need time to give its best. Bright red berry fruit, blood orange and striking lift from the Cabernet Franc offer tons of appeal. I especially like the aromatics here."

"The 2020 Le Petit Mouton is a blend of 72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Merlot and 4% Cabernet Franc, weighing in with 13.1% alcohol. Deep garnet-purple colored, it comes galloping out of the glass with exuberant notes of ripe blackcurrants, fresh blackberries and kirsch, plus suggestions of Indian spices, clove oil and chocolate box, plus a fragrant suggestion of lilacs. The medium-bodied palate has a rock-solid structure of firm, grainy tannins and bold freshness supporting the tight-knit red and black berry layers, finishing long with a peppery kick."

"Dunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, breitere Randaufhellung. Zarte Edelholznuancen, schwarze Waldbeeren, ein Hauch von Cassis, frische Orangenzesten, etwas Nougat. Saftig, elegant, reife Herzkirschen, zarte Fruchtsüße, reife Tannine, ein Hauch von Nougatkaramell im Abgang, ein facettenreicher, harmonischer Speisenbegleiter."

"This is very, very layered with gorgeous fruit and velvety tannins. Hints of chocolate. Full-bodied and chewy with soft, fine tannins. 72% cabernet sauvignon, 24% merlot and 4% cabernet franc. Gorgeous second wine."
97-98/100 Punkte

"Filigranes und subtiles Bouquet, das Nuancen von kalter Asche, Kirschen und Pfingstrosen offenbart. Der Auftakt ist leicht cremig, angenehm frisch und sehr klar definiert. Die Tannine sind feinkörnig, vollmundig und mit großer Finesse und Präzision ausgestattet. Der Petit Mouton ist voll von Energie, Kraft und Potential! Er kündigt den großen Wein sehr gut an, beansprucht dabei aber seine eigene Identität."
