extraprima Bordeaux 2020 2020 LE PETIT MOUTON DE 311,33 €/Ltr. 233,50 MOUTON-ROTHSCHILD Pauillac Parker 91 – 93 | Galloni 92 – 94 | Martin 92 – 94 | Suckling 97 – 98 extraprima 94 – 95 | Der Le Petit Mouton repräsentiert zwischen 25 – 30 % der Produktion des Jahrgangs 2020. Er besteht aus 72 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 24 % Merlot und 4 % Cabernet Franc mit 13,2 % Alkohol. Ausgebaut wird er in 80 % neuen Barriques. Dunkle, schwarze Farbe. Viel Bleistift und Graphit im Geruch, sehr jugendlich, mit vielversprechendem Kern, duftet er eigentlich wie ein echter Grand Vin Mouton-Rothschild. Mit fordernden Gerbstoffen, druckvoller und rassiger Struktur, sowie verdichtetem Mittelstück präsentiert er sich festfleischig und kraftvoll, mit viel Pauillac-Charakter und Rückgrat. Ein toller, lohnenswerter Petit Mouton! Suckling 97 – 98 | This is very, very layered with gorgeous fruit and velvety tannins. Hints of chocolate. Full-bodied and chewy with soft, fine tannins. 72 % cabernet sauvignon, 24 % merlot and 4 % cabernet franc. Gorgeous second wine. Parker 91 – 93 | The 2020 Le Petit Mouton is a blend of 72 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 24 % Merlot and 4 % Cabernet Franc, weighing in with 13.1 % alcohol. Deep garnet-purple colored, it comes galloping out of the glass with exuberant notes of ripe blackcurrants, fresh blackberries and kirsch, plus suggestions of Indian spices, clove oil and chocolate box, plus a fragrant suggestion of lilacs. The medium-bodied palate has a rock-solid structure of firm, grainy tannins and bold freshness supporting the tight-knit red and black berry layers, finishing long with a peppery kick. Galloni 92 – 94 | The 2020 Le Petit-Mouton is a gorgeous wine, but it’s quite different in style from many previous editions because of a high proportion (72 %) of Cabernet Sauvignon. Silky and aromatic, but also quite reticent, the 2020 is going to need time to give its best. Bright red berry fruit, blood orange and striking lift from the Cabernet Franc offer tons of appeal. I especially like the aromatics here. Martin 92 – 94 | The 2020 Le Petit Mouton, which contains a relatively higher level of Cabernet Sauvignon this year, represents 36 % of the total production. It has a wonderful, entrancing bouquet, a mixture of red and black fruit, freshly tilled soil, cedar and emerging floral scents of iris petal and incense. I love the energy on this not so »petit« Mouton. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins and perfectly judged acidity, harmonious and poised with superb mineralité and tension toward the finish. So sophisticated. This is (yet another) great Le Petit Mouton. 2020 CH’ MOUTON-ROTHSCHILD Pauillac 800,00 €/Ltr. 600,00 € Parker 97 – 99 | Galloni 96 – 98 | Martin 96 – 98 | Suckling 99 – 100 extraprima 99 – 100 | Auf Mouton-Rothschild wurde vom 7. bis 24. September geerntet, 48 % des Lesegutes schaffte es in den Grand Vin. Der besteht aus 84 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 13 % Merlot, 2 % Cabernet Franc und 1 % Petit Verdot mit 13,1 % Alkohol, ausgebaut in 100 % neuen Barriques. Der Mouton 2020 besitzt eine undurchdringliche, schwarze Farbe. Reserviert und verschlossen zeigt er im Geruch enorm viel dunkelbeerigen, likörigen Hintergrund, sehr vielversprechend. Hochdelikat und weit gefächert präsentiert er im Mund ganz feine, geschliffene Gerbstoffe, die sich auf der Zungenmitte noch ein wenig rau zeigen. Viel Druck und Kern, enorm lang und stimmig, besitzt der Mouton 2020 große Spannung und alle Anlagen für ein langes Leben: Ätherische Noten, Goudron und fein balsamische Obertöne, superfrisch und ewig lang im Nachhall, immer saftig und finessenreich. Ein echter Aristokrat mit noch jugendlich reservierter Aromatik. Ein großer Mouton, der sich erst in einigen Jahren stilistisch mit einem anderen Jahrgang vergleichen lässt. Suckling 99 – 100 | This is a great and impressive Mouton with plushness and precision. A million layers of tannins. It’s full and very friendly, even seductive, in a rich and opulent way, yet it always remains fresh. Balanced and refined. Nothing sticks out here. Every so fine-grained tannins provide flesh. Looking forward to seeing its evolution. 84 % cabernet sauvignon, 13 % merlot, 2 % cabernet franc and 1 % petit verdot. Parker 97 – 99 | The 2020 Mouton Rothschild is composed of 84 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 13 % Merlot, 2 % Cabernet Franc and 1 % Petit Verdot, with an alcohol of 13.1 % and a pH of around 3.78. Deep purple-black colored, it starts off with subtle notions of fresh raspberries and blackberries, needing considerable swirling and patience to unlock its intense core of blackcurrant pastilles, rose oil, licorice and cardamom, plus touches of cedar chest, black truffles and crushed rocks. The medium-bodied palate is like a tightly coiled spring, possessing exhilarating tension and very firm, ripe, multi-grained tannins to frame the layer upon layer of black and red fruits intertwined with earthy and mineral accents, finishing very long and very fragrant. It is certainly the most coy, reticent and elegant grand vin of this trio of vintages (2018, 2019 and 2020), bearing Mouton’s signature perfume, opulence and stylishness with great grace and sophistication as opposed to devil-maycare flamboyance. It’s this gently teasing, achingly beautiful restraint that collectors are not going to want to miss. Galloni 96 – 98 | The 2020 Mouton Rothschild is sensual, delicate and polished. Bright floral notes lead into a core of sweet red cherry, cedar, mint, anise and blood orange. In 2020, the Mouton is a wine of unreal elegance and finesse. I can’t wait to taste it from bottle, as I think there may be much more to it than it’s showing today. Technical director Jean-Emmanuel Danjoy noted that the 2020 was slow to extract because of its low alcohol (13.1 %) compared with recent vintages. Martin 96 – 98 | The 2020 Mouton Rothschild is an intriguing proposition, aromatically speaking. Initially, it is less forthcoming than the last three vintages, but it’s just toying with you, eventually releasing captivating scents of blackberry, raspberry, crushed stone, touches of India ink and traces of violet petal. The oak is seamlessly integrated and these aromatics grow in stature with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with very lithe and finely chiseled tannins that frame the pixelated black fruit. Displaying wonderful mineralité and tension, this is a less exuberant and lavish Mouton Rothschild, perhaps, but more cerebral and intellectual than this First Growth during the 1990s. As smooth as Snoop Dogg’s flow, this is a marvelous Mouton. 53
