This vintage has been expertly crafted by the esteemed Chateau Mouton Rothschild, showcasing their mastery of winemaking. Upon pouring, the wine reveals a deep ruby colour, with hints of garnet. The nose is greeted with an enticing bouquet of blackcurrant, black cherry, and cedar, with subtle notes of tobacco and earth. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and velvety, with a rich and complex taste of dark berries, oak, and a touch of spice. The tannins are firm yet smooth, providing a long and elegant finish. This wine is a true representation of the exceptional terroir of Pauillac, and is a must-try for any wine enthusiast. Enjoy now or cellar for a few more years to fully experience its potential.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1997, Château Mouton Rothschild experienced unique climatic conditions. The year began with dry and warm weather, significantly raising average temperatures from late January onwards, prompting early vine bud formation in early March. Flowering occurred evenly across varieties, with mid-flowering occurring between May 20th and 24th. Mid-veraison followed between July 24th and August 1st, about 15 days earlier than usual but varying by grape type. August was unusually hot and humid, resembling tropical conditions with three days of 100% humidity. Vigilant pest and disease management ensured the crop remained in excellent condition despite these challenges, although the ripening process was temporarily halted due to uneven grape ripening. Ideal weather in September ultimately allowed for a high-quality harvest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrinking Window: \u003cspan\u003e2010-2050\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Vic Liquors Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52736110952811,"sku":"SK82549669","price":1584.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0956\/5483\/8635\/files\/2001_Chateau_Mouton_Rothschild_750ml_4702f209-609d-4286-8478-da3f56c19b1b.jpg?v=1767587069"},{"product_id":"2015-le-petit-mouton-de-mouton-rothschild-750ml","title":"2015 Le Petit Mouton de Mouton Rothschild 750ml","description":"\u003cp data-sourcepos=\"3:1-3:41\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSecond label of the esteemed Chateau Mouton Rothschild,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e a Premier Cru Classé estate nestled in the heart of Pauillac,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Bordeaux.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-sourcepos=\"3:1-3:41\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDrinking Window: 2019-2040\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cp data-sourcepos=\"5:1-5:27\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVintage\/Vineyard Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cul data-sourcepos=\"7:1-7:8\"\u003e\n\u003cul data-sourcepos=\"7:1-7:8\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-sourcepos=\"7:1-7:8\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eThe 2015 vintage in Bordeaux was exceptional,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e marked by a long,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e warm summer and dry,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e sunny autumn.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e These ideal conditions led to perfectly ripened grapes with intense flavours and concentrated tannins.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cul data-sourcepos=\"7:1-7:8\"\u003e\n\u003cul data-sourcepos=\"7:1-7:8\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-sourcepos=\"8:1-8:147\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eLe Petit Mouton grapes are sourced from select vineyards across Pauillac,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e benefiting from the same meticulous viticultural practices as the Grand Vin.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cul data-sourcepos=\"7:1-7:8\"\u003e\n\u003cul data-sourcepos=\"7:1-7:8\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-sourcepos=\"9:1-10:0\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eThe blend for the 2015 Le Petit Mouton is predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon (78%),\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e with Merlot (17%) and 5% Cabernet Franc.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cp data-sourcepos=\"11:1-11:15\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaking:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cul data-sourcepos=\"13:1-16:140\"\u003e\n\u003cul data-sourcepos=\"13:1-16:140\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-sourcepos=\"13:1-13:102\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTraditional methods used at Chateau Mouton Rothschild ensure the highest quality in Le Petit Mouton.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cul data-sourcepos=\"13:1-16:140\"\u003e\n\u003cul data-sourcepos=\"13:1-16:140\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-sourcepos=\"14:1-14:60\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHand-harvesting ensures only the best grapes are selected.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cul data-sourcepos=\"13:1-16:140\"\u003e\n\u003cul data-sourcepos=\"13:1-16:140\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-sourcepos=\"15:1-15:102\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCareful sorting and meticulous fermentation techniques preserve the fruit's natural characteristics.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cul data-sourcepos=\"13:1-16:140\"\u003e\n\u003cul data-sourcepos=\"13:1-16:140\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-sourcepos=\"16:1-16:140\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eThe wine undergoes aging in a combination of new and used oak barrels,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e allowing for the development of complex flavours and smooth tannins.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cp data-sourcepos=\"18:1-18:21\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCritics' Reviews:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cul data-sourcepos=\"20:1-23:0\"\u003e\n\u003cul data-sourcepos=\"20:1-23:0\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-sourcepos=\"20:1-20:183\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e96 Points - James Suckling:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \"Extremely perfumed with dried flowers and dark berries such as plums and cherries.

His fresco for Mouton 2012 revisits the Château’s historical emblem.

The colour is browning a little, with a red oxide overall hue but some ruby at the core. On the nose there is a gorgeously deep, truffle and game perfume, withal rich berry fruit and subtle Sandalwood notes. There's a suggestion of real intensity. On the palate the wine has plenty of authority. It has a core of spicy tannin and lean, sinewy tannin and acidity, but there's a richness to both texture and fruit flavour too. Spiced plums, tobacco and lots of concentration. A lovely Mouton, with seemingly time ahead of it too.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94\/100\u003c\/strong\u003e — Revista Adega · 1989 Vintage · Tasting Date: Mar 2020\u003cbr\u003e“78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Cabernet Franc e 8% Merlot.
