Château Maucaillou 2009 - A Moulis Grand Cru Classé
Taste this powerful, elegant red wine from an exceptional vintage.
The 2009 vintage in Bordeaux was marked by a cold, dry winter, followed by a warm, dry spring and summer, providing ideal conditions for ripening the grapes.
The wine is a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot from vines located in the commune of
Moulis-en-Médoc. It was aged for 18 months in oak barrels, with the proportion of new wood varying from batch to batch.
Appearance: Intense garnet-red color with tiled highlights, evolving to more ruby hues with age.
Nose: Intense, complex aromas of red fruits (cherry, raspberry), black fruits (blackcurrant, blackberry), spices (vanilla, black pepper), tobacco and leather, with notes of undergrowth and truffle that develop over time.
Palate: Powerful, full-bodied wine with good acidity and silky tannic structure. Flavors of fruit and spice combine with notes of mocha and dark chocolate for a long, persistent finish.
Cellaring : Drink now or cellar for several years. Ageing potential will depend on the batch and storage conditions.
