Wine critic Robert Parker released his report on the Bordeaux 2009 vintage earlier this month. Since then it has been reported that the market responded to the increase in value of US $100 million. He called the 2009 Bordeaux Vintage “ The Greatest Vintage that I have ever tasted”.
Nineteen wines were awarded 100 points. If you bought the following En Primeur they have all got 100 points from Parker, well done. The price in brackets is the En Primeur release price.
Chateau Clinet, Pomerol 2009 at £2200 (£1100), Chateau Leoville Poyferre 2009 at £1800 (£1000), Chateau Pontet Canet, Pauillac 2009 at £1800 (£990), Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte, Pessac 2009 at £750 (£1600), Chateau Montrose, St Estephe 2009 at £1350 (£2550).
Unfortunately we don't have any of the 100 point wines left. However in 2009 where the quality was fantastic from the Crus Bourgeois all the way up to the top! We still have some 2009s which are worth buying.
