Maturation: Oaked
Oak Type: French
Winemaker: Philippe Dhalluin

Harvest date: 23rd September - 13th October.
Closure Type: Cork
Vineyard Notes: The Château Mouton Rothschild vineyard, mostly situated on a hillock called the “Plateau de Mouton” which rises to 27m above sea-level, is planted on very deep gravelly soil with the varieties typical of the region: Cabernet Sauvignon (81%), Merlot (15%), Cabernet Franc (3%) and Petit Verdot (1%). These proportions are not reflected identically in the wine, because the blend varies according to the character of each vintage. However, Cabernet Sauvignon always predominates: it is Cabernet Sauvignon that gives Mouton its rich tannins, its wealth of aroma and flavour and its ageing capacity, while Merlot, an inseparable companion, brings suppleness, roundness and exceptional length. As with other top Médoc wines, the vineyard is densely planted – 10,000 vines per hectare – and the average age of the vines is around 44 years.

Vintage Notes: Nature was particularly kind in 2009, providing conditions that favoured the vegetation cycle and helped the grapes to reach full maturity. Winter was a little colder than usual, though in the period to March the region had 204 hours of sunshine more than the average for the last thirty years. April was very wet and May often stormy. Flowering took place rapidly and evenly around 5 June. Summer set in from mid-June, bringing remarkable levels of sunshine and little rainfall. The very fine weather and high level of hydric stress, barely alleviated by a few showers, enabled the grapes to ripen slowly to full maturity. Temperatures in August were 1.4° C higher than the average. The ideal weather continued into September as cool nights alternated with hot days. The weather, encouraging the concentration of aromas and flavours and the accumulation of anthocyans, brought the crop to harvest in perfect condition.

Ageing: 18 months
Producer Tasting Notes: 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.

100 / 100 Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider

2009 Vintage Tasted: Jul 2022

Everything that makes Mouton Rothschild one of the world's great wines is here in spades. Incredible levels of concentration with an opulence not found in other Pauillacs create the backdrop here. Unctuous, velvety, rich, and palate-staining, there is an exotic edge to the texture, countless layers of perfectly ripe fruit, purity, and a spicy edge that sets you up for a seamless finish that lasts more than 60 seconds. As good as this is, patience is going to be a virtue here, as this is only getting started. Drink from 2029-2075.

100 / 100 Falstaff

2009 Vintage Tasted: Nov 2020

Inviting nuances of ripe cherries and fresh figs, a hint of nougat caramel, fine oak savouriness with some bourbon vanilla. Juicy, complex, ripe, dark berry fruit, good fruit expression, polished, ripe tannins, mineral in the finish.

About Falstaff

95 / 100 Adrian van Velsen - vvWine.ch

2009 Vintage Tasted: Oct 2019

In der Nase sehr verhalten, kühl, majestätisch, ungemein tief, nobel, mit vielen Kräutern, Gräsern, Johannisbeeren, Kirschen, super komplex, deutet Grösse an. Im Gaumen kräftig, straff, sehr schöne, reife Frucht, das markante Tannin wirkt noch jung, eine hervorragende Säure stützt, der Wein ist aktuell noch viel zu jugendlich, zeigt definitiv noch nicht viel Charme, hat jedoch ein riesiges Potential. Da kommt noch viel mehr. 2030-2050+, 19++ vvPunkte (95++/100)

? / 100 James Suckling

2009 Vintage Tasted: Feb 2019

With a ton of ripe blackcurrant and some bitter chocolate this is a rich and rather opulent wine that still retains a delightful freshness and has a long, positively dry finish. Drink or hold. (Horizontal Tasting, London, 2019)

About James Suckling

96 / 100 Gismondi on Wine

2009 Vintage Tasted: Nov 2013

Super smoke and toasted oak, as is the pattern of first growths only this time there is plenty beneath the façade including tobacco, blackberry jam, cassis, curry and cedar aromas. The palate is awash in brooding fruit that is rich long and luxurious with acidity, finesse and persistence. A fabulous bottle of wine and it is only beginning its life. The blend in '09 is 88 cabernet sauvignon 12 percent merlot. A great bottle at a crazy price. Wolf Blass Master Blend Classification Montreal. (Anthony Gismondi and Stuart Tobe).

2009 Vintage Tasted: Mar 2012

Intense crimson. Pronounced toasted oak on the nose backed by red fruit. Pleasant, velvety attack driven by red fruit coulis. Firmer mid-palate and finish dominated by oak.

About Gilbert & Gaillard

96 / 100 Wine Enthusiast

2009 Vintage Tasted: Jan 2012

The purest Cabernet Sauvignon fruit, with dark chocolate and intense dark berry flavors. The tannins are so enveloped by the fruit and yet they promise great aging. At this stage, wood shows through the fruit, but the texture is so rich and opulent that it should easily become integrated.
