ABOUT THIS WINE
The 2009 Chteau Mouton-Rothschild is a blend of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot, and 2% Petit Verdot, with the dominant Cabernet Sauvignon contributing to the wines structure, depth, and aging potential. The grapes were hand-harvested and meticulously sorted before fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless-steel vats. After fermentation, the wine underwent malolactic fermentation in barrel and was aged for 18 months in 100% new French oak barrels, imparting additional complexity and a subtle oaky influence. The growing season in 2009 was marked by ideal weather conditions, with a warm, dry summer followed by cooler nights, allowing for slow, even ripening of the grapes. The result is a wine with incredible concentration, balance, and finesse, reflecting the estates commitment to producing wines of exceptional quality. While the wine is already approachable, its powerful structure and deep fruit suggest that it will continue to evolve and improve over the next 20-30 years.
