Le Petit Mouton de Mouton Rothschild – 1997

Le Petit Mouton de Mouton Rothschild – 1997

气候条件

The early part of the year was warm and dry: average temperatures rose well above normal levels from the end of January, causing the vine to bud at the very beginning of March. The different grape varieties flowered evenly, reaching the mid-flowering point between 20 and 24 May. Mid-veraison, uneven across the grape varieties, was reached 15 days earlier than the average, between 24 July and 1 August. The weather in August was warm and wet, almost tropical, with three days of 100% humidity, but integrated pest management techniques ensured that the vines and grapes remained in excellent condition, with no trace of or damage from disease or parasites. However, the unusual conditions halted the ripening process. With the grapes ripening unevenly, the pickers had to wait for them to reach optimum maturity in order to ensure a high-quality harvest. Fortunately, the weather in September was favourable.

品酒笔记

The wine has a fine, deep, dark red colour and a nicely open nose displaying a wide variety of aromas (vanilla, hazelnut, chocolate, blackberry, redcurrant). On the palate, the fruit mingles harmoniously with already smooth and elegant cask tannins, revealing black cherry and bilberry flavours and building to a substantial, balanced finish with plenty of length.
