Le Petit Mouton de Mouton Rothschild
On Pauillac’s sun-warmed gravel ridges, Le Petit Mouton de Mouton Rothschild proves how closely great origin and youthful drive can sit side by side. Fruit is drawn from plots within the First Growth estate, often from younger vines, yet hand harvesting, rigorous sorting and barrel ageing follow the same exacting standards as the Grand Vin.
Since Baron Nathaniel de Rothschild acquired the château in 1853—and after the famous promotion to Premier Cru Classé in 1973—Mouton has stood for precision. Fermentation under tight temperature control, measured extraction and classical élevage in French oak translate the authority of Cabernet Sauvignon without heaviness.
The label, inspired by Jean Carlu, ties art to the vine. As a true second wine, it opens the door to an icon: distinct in voice, unmistakably shaped by the Médoc terroir and the house’s disciplined hand.Le Petit Mouton de Mouton Rothschild
