  • Goedhuis Waddesdon, April 2025, Score: 93-94

    A deep ruby colour with a medley of dark fruit on the nose, melding with hints of fresh coffee bean, wood smoke and mocha. A more generous style of wine than many this vintage, with a rewarding generosity and confident exuberance. The crisp apple freshness lifts the mid-palate and blends perfectly with the sweet sensation of vanilla pod on the finish. Hugely pleasurable.

  • Neal Martin, April 2025, Score: 91-93

    The 2023 Le Petit-Mouton is being matured in 50% new oak for a planned 18 months. It has an attractive, understated bouquet with pencil shavings and cedar-tinged black fruit—not as complex as the 2022, but refined. Two weeks later the nose demonstrates just a soupçon more éclat [brightness]. The palate is medium-bodied and harmonious with crisp acidity on the entry, dashes of spice and black pepper on the back-palate and moderate length on the linear finish. Give this three or four years in bottle.

  • Antonio Galloni, April 2025, Score: 90-92

    The 2024 Le Petit-Mouton is a dark, brooding wine. Dark red fruit, pomegranate, gravel, incense, leather and scorched earth contribute to a feeling of somber gravitas. Low yields, as measured by bunches per shoot, come through in the wine's density and power. The 13% alcohol is super-classic. The 2024 is shaping up to be a very serious wine.

  • James Suckling, May 2025, Score: 95-96

    Excellent depth. Though there is not much density, this exhibits outstanding cabernet character with paprika, tapenade, dark tobacco and black fruit. Medium- to full-bodied with fine-etched tannins. Great poise and elegance. Light on its feet but doesn’t need any more richness. 67% cabernet sauvignon, 26% merlot, 5% cabernet franc and 2% petit verdot.

    Technical Director Jean-Emmanuel Danjoy informed me of the importance of a frustrating six-week period while the grapes underwent veraison on this wine. A quick glance at the harvested bunches would hoodwink anyone into thinking the bunches were ripe, but while the colour was uniform, the proper ripeness of each berry was anything but! Some grapes, those who turned first, were perfect, while others, masquerading as ripe, were sour and harsh! This called for the water bath (Delta Densilys)! Destemmed grapes were dropped into this bath full of sugared water. The density of the water, determined by its sugar content, allowed some grapes to float while others sank. Those that sank were of the perfect density and, therefore, ripeness. The floaters were sent off, never to be seen again. Some 40% was eliminated from the lesser blocks, and even the finest plots sacrificed 10-14% of their yields, significantly improving the wine quality. You only have to consider what might have happened if 10, 20, or 30% of unripe grapes (perhaps containing only 6% of potential alcohol) remained in the fermentations! This low-tech invention was trialled in 2017, and it came into its own in this vintage, with a few estates happy to confirm they rented or even acquired this piece of kit! Being able to vinify this wine carefully and with great accuracy has meant that Le Petit Mouton shows uncommon plushness and fruit weight, and coupled with this vintage’s trademark freshness, it is an amazingly detailed wine. While no one wants uniformity, eliminating unknown extremes is a very comforting skill. After all, wine is all about nuance, and Clerc Milon embraces violets, berries, and even unexpected hints of exoticism. Chapeau. 18+/20

  • Jeb Dunnuck, May 2025, Score: 91-93

    Ripe blackcurrants, scorched earth, graphite, and spicy notes all define the 2024 Le Petit Mouton De Mouton Rothschild. Medium-bodied on the palate, it has remarkable purity, fine tannins, and a great finish. It's a charming, layered, certainly outstanding, Pauillac in the making.

  • Jane Anson, April 2025, Score: 93

    Here you get that sexy Petit Mouton kick, defined by Cabernet, less exuberant profile than in recent years and yet great texture and lift, supple blackberry fruits, cocoa bean lacing. Very much succeeding in the vintage without compromising the heart of the estate signature. Jean-Emmanuel Danjoy director. Harvest 23 September to 5 October. 3.62 pH. 50% new oak.

Mouton Rothschild is the only wine to have been elevated to First Growth status since the original classification of the Medoc in 1855. The exceptional success and status of Château Mouton Rothschild can largely be attributed Baron Philippe de Rothschild and his charismatic daughter Baroness Philippine. They recognised the extraordinary potential of the estate, which today spans 82 hectares, and devoted their lives to ensuring that potential was realised. Baroness Philippine's children Camille and Philippe Sereys de Rothschild and Julien de Beaumarchais de Rothschild, true to their grandfather’s and mother’s work, are now committed with the same enthusiasm and determination to perpetuating this quest for excellence. This most flamboyant and glamorous estate is famous for its artistic connections, embodied in the grand vins's label, redesigned each year by such legends as Picasso, Miro and Warhol. Its impressive and well-deserved reputation is based above all on the opulence and excellence of its wines.Read less

Region

Pauillac

Due south of St Estèphe lies the appellation of Pauillac, the king of Left Bank communes. It is home to three first growths as well as a plethora of other classified growths. Pauillac's renowned well-draining, gravelly soils enable its dominant grape Cabernet Sauvignon to reach fantastic heights of complexity and concentration. As a result, Pauilac's wines tend to be full-bodied with compact tannins and good freshness. Its aromatics are often what one associates with classic Bordeaux: pencil shavings, black currant and occasional mint. Some of the most famous châteaux of the commune are Latour, Mouton Rothschild, Lafite Rothschild, Pichon Baron, Pichon Lalande and Lynch Bages.
