Le Petit Mouton 2015 is a highly representative and excellent second wine from Château Mouton Rothschild, one of the five First Growths of Bordeaux. This vintage coincided with an exceptionally bountiful year on the Left Bank of Bordeaux, perfectly inheriting the noble lineage and extraordinary terroir of the grand vin.
Grape Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc
Maturation process: Aged in oak barrels, including 40% new oak barrels.
Appearance: A deep ruby red with a purple rim.
Aroma: Upon opening, it reveals a rich bouquet of ripe blackcurrant, blackberry, and Black Forest cake, followed by notes of mint, new leather, toast, cedar, and subtle hints of tobacco and coffee.
