Bordeaux 2009 – The greatest vintage ever
Robert Parker has just released his latest Issue of the Wine Advocate and
reconfirmed 2009 Bordeaux to be the greatest vintage ever.
The Wine Advocate, Issue #199 - « 1982 Déjà Vu All Over Again – But Greater »
“If readers go back and read Issue 188 (April 2010), my barrel tasting report on
the 2009s was titled “Once Upon A Time – 1899,
1929, 1949, 1959, 2009.” In it, I suggested that many châteaux
had made the finest wines that I had tasted in over 32 years of evaluating
Bordeaux vintages.
In short, 2009 is the greatest vintage I have tasted in Bordeaux since 1982, of
which it is a modern-day version, but greatly improved. It is more consistent
(many châteaux that were making mediocre wine in 1982 are now making brilliant
wine) and of course, the yields are lower, the selection process is stricter,
and there are any other number of factors, from investments in the wineries to
impeccable, radical viticulture, that have resulted in extraordinary raw
materials.”
