Le Petit Mouton de Mouton Rothschild – 2008

Le Petit Mouton de Mouton Rothschild – 2008

气候条件

2008 will remain in the memory as a year of particularly changeable weather. After a cool and wet spring (the temperature fell to around 0° C on 7 April), the weather turned more seasonal in June, but the vegetation cycle was running late. July was sunny and dry but the summer continued with a dull August, increasing the need for careful vineyard supervision. However, rainfall in August was in line with the average; there was no water surplus and the water table remained at a level comparable with that of recent years. A lack of sunshine in the first half of September heralded a difficult vintage. Fortunately, a magnificent Indian summer that began on 14 September and lasted until 20 October completely reversed the situation. Such excellent conditions before the harvest increased the alcoholic strength and enabled the grapes to achieve a very fine state of phenolic maturity. Picking was delayed so that the grapes could ripen fully. The harvest took place between 2 and 15 October, the crop being in excellent condition. Patience was needed for the 2008 harvest, and rigorous attention from vine to vinification. A quite unusual vintage, it has produced wines that nevertheless hold out the promise of remarkable quality.

品酒笔记

A lovely dark red, Le Petit Mouton de Mouton Rothschild 2008 offers a rich and complex nose on which red and black fruit mingle with spice and vanilla notes. The attack is powerful and extends on firm tannins and strong flavours. A roundness on the palate, together with subtle touches of cedarwood and spice, give the wine a certain succulence. The finish, all refinement, prolongs the charm of this highly successful Petit Mouton.
