92 / 100
Jeff Leve - The Wine Cellar Insider
Completely charming, textbook, medium/full bodied Pauillac that is drinking in the sweet spot. The ripe, juicy, sweet cassis and tobacco notes with a hint of cedar are ready to do their job

Jane Anson - Inside Bordeaux
More tannic frame but a little less charm than its sibling Armailhac. A good moment to begin drinking, with still firm tannins that cradle sweet brambled fruit, and a delicous edge of white pepper spice, truffle and salted cracker. Harvest September 21 to October 6. 33% new oak, Jean-Paul Vezart winemaker at both Armailhac and Clerc Milon at the time.

Tasted blind. Very sweet start and then so fluid and lively. Very nice wine with great balance. Fruit already evolving, but lots of tannins stored underneath for the future.

Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate
The 2005 Le Petit Mouton has a very expressive, vivacious bouquet with dark cherries, tobacco and even a hint of violet plucked from Margaux. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, a little more structure than the 2010, supremely well detailed, but perhaps just missing the sustain of that aforementioned younger vintage. Still, this an extremely fine Le Petit Mouton drinking now and over the next 15-20 years.

Château Mouton Rothschild
Château Mouton Rothschild

Château Mouton Rothschild is one of the most iconic wine estates in the world. Located in the Pauillac appellation, it is the only growth in the official Bordeaux wine classification of 1855 to have been elevated to the rank of Premier Cru Classé in 1973, having initially been classified as a Deuxième Cru.

Acquired in 1853 by Nathaniel de Rothschild, the estate then known as Brane-Mouton became Château Mouton Rothschild and entered legend under the impetus of Baron Philippe de Rothschild. A visionary, he profoundly modernised the vineyard, developed the cellars and imposed an absolute commitment to quality, making Mouton one of the greatest wines of Bordeaux. His motto illustrates this unique ascent: « Premier je suis, second je fus, Mouton ne change ».

The singularity of Mouton Rothschild is also expressed through its artistic labels, illustrated each year by great contemporary artists, reinforcing its cultural and heritage aura. This pursuit of excellence can also be found in the other properties of the Rothschild family, notably Château Clerc Milon and Château d'Armailhac.

From the mythical 1945 and 1961 to the 1982 vintage and the 1996 wine, through to a more recent year such as the 2004 wine, the wines of Château Mouton Rothschild are among the most sought-after in the world of wine. The estate completes its grand vin with a second wine, Le Petit Mouton, created in 1993, and a rare white, Aile d'Argent.
