Le Petit Mouton 2021
Produced in France, specifically within the prestigious Pauillac appellation of Bordeaux. Château Mouton Rothschild is currently under the stewardship of the descendants of Baron Philippe de Rothschild and Baroness Philippine, including Camille and Philippe Sereys de Rothschild, and Julien de Beaumarchais de Rothschild. The estate is celebrated for its 'Live for the vine' philosophy, which combines traditional winemaking with modern technology to reflect the singular essence of its 82 hectares of terroir.
Wine Description
This wine presents a crimson hued garnet red in the glass. The nose is expressive and complex, revealing aromas of red berry fruits, mint, and blackcurrants alongside delicate floral notes of peony and hints of cigar wrapper and graphite. On the palate, it is medium to full bodied, featuring a dense and muscular attack with juicy, fleshy fruit supported by powdery, silky tannins. The finish is persistent and refined, showing a classic mineral quality and a refreshing, minty edge.

Food Pairing
The structured tannins and vibrant acidity of this wine make it a natural companion for hearty red meat dishes, such as grilled leg of lamb marinated in herbs or a classic beef stew with mushrooms. It also pairs beautifully with earthy flavours like wild boar or blue veined cheeses.
