Château Mouton Rothschild 2009

Château Mouton-Rothschild ist ein Premier Cru Classé aus Pauillac. Cabernet Sauvignon (83%), Merlot und Cabernet Franc erreichen dank der perfekten Ausrichtung dieser herrlichen Weinberge im Nordwesten von Pauillac mühelos ihre Reife. Der Ausbau in Fässer (ausschliesslich neues Holz) dauert etwa 20 Monate. Château Mouton-Rothschild war lange Zeit ein Pionier (1924 wurde als erstes Weingut der Wein auf dem Weingut abgefüllt, 1945 wurde auf ein anderes Etikett pro Jahrgang umgestellt) und ist heute einer der grossen Namen in der Weinwelt.

The 2009 Mouton-Rothschild is as concentrated as the 2010, but it presents itself in a more consumer-friendly, seductive style. Opulently textured and full-bodied with gorgeous levels of crème de cassis, melted licorice, espresso roast and chocolate, it possesses high but sweet, velvety tannins, massive body, and fabulous purity as well as length. This could turn out to be a candidate for perfection in another 8-10 years. It will drink well for 30-50 years, but will always be much more approachable and charming than its 2010 counterpart.

The 2009 Mouton-Rothschild has a more refined bouquet compared to the 2009 Latour, with scents of blackberry, graphite, undergrowth and hints of pressed rose petals. The palate is medium-bodied with a rounded entry. The intense black fruit is laced with pencil shaving and white pepper notes (indeed, the tip of the tongue tingles after the wine has exited.) This is a multi-dimensional First Growth with a very persistent finish. Mouton-Rothschild? Bingo. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners’ 2009 Bordeaux tasting. - NM 02/2019
