在五大酒莊中,Mouton-Rothschild的酒質風格可說是最華麗奔放的,既有Pauillac典型的結實骨架,口感又豐厚圓熟,常帶有成熟漿果和明顯燒烤香味,因此吸引了全球愛酒人士的高度人氣。
Chateau Mouton-Rothschild的二軍酒從1993年份開始釀造,名為「小綿羊Le Petit Mouton」。它的成熟漿果香呈現出招牌的黑醋栗香甜酒的氣味,混合一些花香和森林底層的氣息,相當迷人;上市之後3到5年就適合飲用,好年份的話也有陳年15年以上的優良潛力。

The 2013 Le Petit Mouton, one of the go-to second labels under winemaker Philippe Dhalluin, has an attractive blackberry, raspberry coulis and bay leaf scented bouquet that is simple but fresh and well defined. The palate is medium-bodied and initially angular in the mouth. The sharp acidity slight jars at first, although there are attractive blackcurrant pastilles that leaven what could have been a hard finish, dominated by the Cabernet Sauvignon that comprised 93% of the blend. This is a great deuxième vin that punches above its weight for the vintage, even if it does not quite match its showing from barrel.
