2009 Chateau Mouton Rothschild 1. Cru
France / Bordeaux / Medoc / Haut-Medoc / Pauillac 1. Cru Rouge
2009 Château Mouton Rothschild 1st Grand Cru Classé will undoubtedly go down as a vintage to match the finest. The wine has a very deep, almost black colour with glittering highlights. The stylish and complex nose offers a wide array of aromas, bilberry, blackcurrant and blond tobacco mingling with subtle cedarwood and spice. The palate immediately shows all the wine’s density and refinement: very forward ripe fruit flavours are perfectly integrated with patrician, well-rounded tannins, revealing remarkable structure and balance. The opulent and long finish confirms the very great success of this Mouton Rothschild, no effort having been spared to enable the wine to fully express the exceptional qualities of the 2009 vintage.
The label of the 2009 vintage is illustrated by an original artwork by the artist Anish Kapoor.
