Le Petit Mouton is the second wine from Château Mouton Rothschild, the prestigious First Growth Bordeaux estate nestled in the Pauillac commune. The 1996 vintage is a blend composed of 95% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc. It offers an enticing bouquet of autumnal forest notes with a subtle hint of dark cherry. The palate unfolds with a medley of dark fruit flavours, featuring cherry and blackcurrant, complemented by mature, earthy undertones and a touch of liquorice. Well-balanced, with a lively acidity, this is a delightful `deuxième vin`.
