Le critique américain Robert Parker a dévoilé ses notes sur le millésime 2009 à Bordeaux. Un grand millésime et une superbe note donc pour la Mondotte récompensée par un 100/100 !!

Voici le commentaire de dégustation de Robert Parker à propos de ce vin (en anglais) :

"This fabulous terroir has been fully exploited by propretor Stefan von Neipperg and his consulting oenologist, Stéphane Derenoncourt, since the debut vintage of 1976. Yields of 18 hectoliters per hectare were ridiculously law in 2009 and the blend is dominated by Merlot (80%) combined with 20% Cabernet Franc. Perfect, the 2009 la Mondotte boasts an inky/black/purple color as well as sumptuous notes of incense, graphite, licorice, black cherries, blackberries, cedar and forest floor. It is extraordinarily thick and voluptuous with a cool climate minerality that gives the wine an uplift and freshness that is suprising in view of its massive fruit level and hight extract. The tannins are abundant, but sweet and well-integrated, as are the acidity, alcohol and wood components. An infant at present, this 2009 requires 6-8 years of cellaring and should keep for three decades."
