Bordeaux 2009 primeurs;
Bordeaux 2009: Een zeldzaam goed jaar! |
|
Bordeaux 2009 zal de geschiedenis ingaan als een zeldzaam en krachtig jaar.
Zowel de rode wijnen van beide oevers, maar ook de witte wijnen met name de Sauternes zullen een hoge kwaliteit bereiken.
Bordeaux 2009 proefglazen op Château Lafite
Klik foto voor vergroting
De cabernet-sauvignon van 2009 is een relatief kleine oogst met een dikke schil.
Ondanks een kleinere hoeveelheid geoogste cabernet sauvignon druiven, heeft dit een positieve invloed op de kwaliteit.
Het jaar 2009 kenmerkt zich door perfecte rijpheid en zeer veelbelovende tannines.
Een fraaie balans van tannine en dik geconcentreerd fruit geven de wijnen een stevige structuur.
De merlot 2009 blijft recht overeind, maar zowel op de rechter- als de linkeroever zijn uitschieters naar boven en naar beneden.
Sommige wijnen zijn niet helemaal in balans en komen soms plomp over en missen finesse en verfijning. Ondanks de zeer goede vooruitzichten blijft selectie noodzakelijk.
Sauternes proeverij op Château Dauzac

Super is Château Lafite en Château Petrus.
Machtige wijnen die de veelbelovende vooruitzichten waarmaken. Heel fraai vind ik Du Tertre, Cantenac Brown, Trotanoy en Pichon-Baron. Deze wijn zijn gul en krachtig. Leoville Barton is machtig en Lagrange indrukwekkend. Branaire Ducru tongstrelend met veel finesse en La Conseillante is met zijn intens zwarte fruit heerlijk.
Veel wijnen uit Saint-Estèphe zijn van grote klasse.
Wij hebben tevens veel kleinere chateaux geproefd. Wijnen die veel kwaliteit bieden voor hun geld. Ik was onder de indruk van L’Arrosée en La Clotte.
Sauternes was over de hele linie indrukwekkend.
De botrytis ontwikkelde zich op heel rijpe druiven optimaal.
Het suikergehalte was hoog, verdamping van het water in de druif optimaal waardoor een relatief grote oogst mogelijk was.
De oogst werd onder ideale omstandigheden binnengehaald. De wijnen hebben prachtige zuren met heel veel finesse. Zij zijn heerlijk fris, elegant en super rijk.
Mijn favorieten zijn La Tour Blanche, Lafaurie- Peyraguey, Rieussec, de Farques en Guiraud.

Zodra de wijnen worden aangeboden kopen wij deze wijnen aan de hand van onze proefnotities. Hierbij houden wij rekening met de prijzen.
Wij proberen die wijnen te kopen die een zo goed mogelijke prijs-kwaliteitverhouding hebben.
Op deze site houden wij weer onze dagelijkse aankopen bij.
Bordeaux en-primeur kopen is een kwestie van vertrouwen.
Het kan interessant zijn omdat veel goede wijnen al na een paar maanden niet meer beschikbaar zijn of veel duurder zijn geworden.
De wijnen worden door ons aangekocht en hetzelfde jaar aan de chateaux/negociants betaald.
De wijnen blijven over het algemeen 2 jaar op de chateaux, 18 maanden op fust en 4-6 maanden op fles en worden na 2 jaar vrijgegeven. Wij hebben 3 klimaatkelders in Amsterdam waar deze wijnen worden opgeslagen.
Onze wijnhandel bestaat al sinds 1971 in Amsterdam-Zuid en handelt al vanaf 1975
en-primeur. Het is een veilig en betrouwbaar gevoel dat wij een winkel hebben en dat wij altijd bereikbaar zijn. U kunt ook per fles bij ons kopen.

Chistian Moueix and his son, Edouard, must be extraordinarily proud of what they have achieved in just a few years after taking over this property (previously known as Belair) that had been so mismanaged and underexploited by its previous owners. Yields were cut to 13 hectoliters per hectare in 2009, and this great terroir has finally revealed its true potential. Tasting like a liqueur of crushed rocks intermixed with raspberry jam and kirsch, the full-bodied, elegant 2009 is a quintessential example of a true terroir wine. Forget it for 5-7 years and drink it over the following three decades. (tasted once) | Belair Monange:

It is another offering that reveals no evidence of wood even though 70 % new oak barrels were utilized. A dense plum/purple color is followed by a lovely perfume of flowers, boysenberries, black cherries , and black currants.

This is the best Canon since 1982, and it is possibly capable of eclipsing that legendary vintage. It has taken a while for the proprietors, the Wertheimer brothers (the owners of Chanel and the Margaux estate Rauzan-Segla) to get Canon back to its former glory. Yields in 2009 were 35 hectoliters per hectare, and the harvest occurred between September 28 and October 5. The Blend is 75% Merlot and 25 % cabernet Franc, with a neutral alcohol level of 14%. Dense ruby/purple and full-bodied. With terrific blueberry and raspberry fruit intermixed with spring flower garden scents, with extraordinary density, purity, and a multi-layered texture this is a prodigious Canon with sweet tannins and lots of viscosity. It should drink well for 30 or more years. Bravo! (tasted three times.) | Canon:

Proprietor Stephan von Neipperg has made so many terrific wines at this estate since the late 1980s, it’s hard to say that the 2009 is going to turn out to be the finest, bud did it show well on the four separate times I tasted it! A final blend of 55% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Franc, and a whopping 10% Cabernet Sauvignon (somewhat unusual for this area of St. –Emilion), the natural alcohol was 14%. Stéphane Derenoncourt is the long-time wine consultant at all of Stephan von Neipperg’s estates. Yields were shockingly low here, 28 hectoliter per hectare, and the wine is a beauty of both elegance and power. Dark ruby/purple, with notes of intense, sweet cedar, black cherry jam, cassis, and blackberry as well as licorice and subtle smoke, this wine has superb texture, a full-bodied mouthfeel, stunning concentration, and not a hard edge to be found. It is one of those remarkable 2009s with amazing power and density, but also tremendous finesse, precision, and freshness, an anomaly in itself. This wine should drink well for 15-20 years, based on the fact that the 1990, a vintage far lower in acidity and not nearly as concentrated, is still at the top of its game. Bravo!

0.375 | 50.95 | Château Climens:
Bill Blatch- Sauternes First Growths
This is a tough call to make, as the wine is still in 14 of the original 17 lots and a prototype blend has not yet been attempted. So we just have to taste all the lots and then do the assemblage in our heads.
The main body of the blend will be composed of the highly botrytised pickings of 2nd to 6th October. These lots taste rich yet very fine, almost delicate and extremely florally expressive. They will be blended with the smaller and also finer and lighter first pickings and some but not all of the heavier final ones.
My guess is that this is classic Climens: not over-sweet or overstated in any way, all purity and finesse, albeit on a background of rich intensity, which will be slightly less sweet in appearance than ‟07.
The Wine Advocate:

Bill Blatch- Sauternes First Growths
This is a tough call to make, as the wine is still in 14 of the original 17 lots and a prototype blend has not yet been attempted. So we just have to taste all the lots and then do the assemblage in our heads.
The main body of the blend will be composed of the highly botrytised pickings of 2nd to 6th October. These lots taste rich yet very fine, almost delicate and extremely florally expressive. They will be blended with the smaller and also finer and lighter first pickings and some but not all of the heavier final ones.
My guess is that this is classic Climens: not over-sweet or overstated in any way, all purity and finesse, albeit on a background of rich intensity, which will be slightly less sweet in appearance than ‟07.

Robert Parker 97-100 punten:
The greatest Clinet since the incredible duo produced by the late Jean-Michel Arcaute in 1989 and 1990. The 2009 (tasted on 4 separate occasions) was off the charts in terms of quality and potential. Yields of 47 hectoliter per hectare were not particularly low, and the fruit used in the final blend (87% Merlot, 10 Cabernet Franc and 3 % Cabernet Sauvignon; 14% natural alcohol) was all harvested between September 21 and October 7. The wine boasts an opaque black/purple color in addition to a gorgeous bouquet of truffles, charcoal, asphalt, blackberries, blueberries and meaty, smoky notes. This dense, unctuously-textured Pomerol is built like a skyscraper with multiple layers, sweet tannins, and enormous concentration as well as length. The good news is there will be 4.000 cases of this modern day legend in the making. It should drink well for 30-35 years. While it’s hard to eclipse a 100-point wine(1989), the 2009 appears to be the finest Clinet has ever made. (Tasted four times) | Clinet:

Unquestionably the finest Clos Des Jacobins I have ever tasted ,the 2009 succes must go to the highly regarded Hubert de Bouard the proprieter of L"Angelus. Yields were cut considerably in 2009 because of the mid-May hail, which explains in part the stunning concentration and richness this cuvée possesses. Huge blackberry and cassis fruit notes intermixed with subtle smoke. forest floor and barrique smells are followed by a full-bodied, opulently textured thick wine with sweet tannin as well as tremendous length. This big time sleeper of the vintage should drink well for the next 15020 years. | Clos des Jacobins:

2e wijn van Léoville-Las-Cases
Robert Parker 91-93 punten
Clos du Marquis is being positioned by Jean-Hübert Delon as a separate single vineyard wine rather than Léoville Las Cases' second wine. The logic is simple. It has come from the same vineyard for over twenty years, and is not a true second wine in the sense that it is not made from Las Cases'discarded cuveés. The 2009 Clos de Marquis(70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20 % Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot) came in at 13,75% alcohol. It exhibits a deep ruby/purple hue along with sweet notes of crême de cassis, great purity, a full-bodied mouthfeel, and terrific texture as well as length. It should evolve for 20-25 years.

This just has to go down as one of the great successes of the vintage. Just to check, I tasted it blind against the Second Growths and its superiority shone out; then against other Firsts, and its combination of lush concentration and an elegant ‘lift’ put it right there at the top.
At a quite moderate 136 g/l of residual, this is the kind of “nervous” balance that many larger estates would maybe have preferred to achieve this year. In that, it is one of the few wines to resemble the ‘01, and is maybe even superior. | Clos Haut- Peyraguey:

You have here all the steely, mineral flavours for which this château is famous, expressing themselves against a rich background of the vintage’s lushness but retaining its classic almost Alsatian kind of bright fruit. At 146 g/l of residual, it is close to the average for the First Growths and very similar to the vibrant 2007. However it has been fermented out just a bit more than the 07, and at 14°2, this touch of extra alcohol makes it seem even more vibrant. This will certainly become one of the great classic Coutets, the explosion of fruit making it beautiful young but, in spite of the quite low acidity, built to last, similar to but more exuberant than the ‘89, and fuller and more expressive than the ‘01. After my last tasting at the château, we did a vertical going back to the 40s and the 2009 seems to be right up there with them. | Coutet:

Almost tasting like blackberry ice cream with a hint of raspberry syrop on the top, this opaque ruby/purple wine is pure and totally seductive. The 2209 offers more glycerine, power and alcoholic potency, but the sweet tannins, the velvety texture, the beautiful purity are all there to admire and consume.

Black red, fine intensity of fragrant Cabernet fruit, touch of wild roses, concentrated yet already showing potential complexity, beautifully expressed palate with density and fragrance and a taffeta aspect that adds lift to its succulent elegance and class. Drink 2015-30. |

Can de 2009 Decru Beaucaillou be better than the brilliant 2000 and extraordinary 2003 and 2005? Purchasers will have to decide for themselves, but this compelling effort is one of the all-time great Decru Beaucaillous. It is a blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Merlot that achieved 13,5% natural alcohol, and, remarkably, despite the fact that 90% new oak was utilized, not a hind of wood can be found in either the aromatics of flavors. This inky/purple-hued, unctuously textured 2009 reveals layers and layers of blue, red and black fruits, and hints of licorice and spic box. Despite its substantial, massive size, it retains an elegant style, but will need 3-5 years of cellaring. It should last for 40+ years. (Tasted once.) | Ducru Beaucaillou:

Robert Parker:
The 2009 appears to be the finest Duhart Milon yet made, opaque purple color is followed by an extraordinary perfume of creme de cassis ,violets, graphite and subtle wood. This full-bodied , intense, voluptuously textured, pure, seductive wine seems more open-knit and opulent than the more structured Carruades de Lafite. Nevertheless the Duhart Milon requires 3-5 years of cellaring and shuold drink well for 30+ years .Bravo

The Wine Advocate:
Ferocious extract, huge tannin, an opaque purple color and enormous richness all make for a potential briljant wine from this vineyard located on the plateau of Pomerol just adjacent to Petrus. Probably a late finisher of malolactic given its showing in three separate occasions, this wine which is enormously endowned, very rich and full-bodied. has a chance to be the best Gazin ever made. However patience will be a virtue as the wine will certainly need 5-8 years of cellaring. | Gazin:
