Château de Gironville 2009 is a Cabernet-based Bordeaux wine originating from the historic Cru Bourgeois estate of Château de Gironville in Macau. Under the stewardship of the Mulliez family, this wine reflects a blend of tradition and modern winemaking techniques. It undergoes 12 months of barrel ageing, utilising a variety of barrels to enhance complexity. The blend presents a solid structure, characterised by tannic power and length, while maintaining an overall balance.

Vinous
Bright medium yellow color; deeper than the '14. Pure and mineral-driven on the nose but much less expressive today than the 2014, hinting at lemon, grapefruit and various shades of stone. Offers more weight on entry than the 2014, then quite penetrating and very dry in the middle palate, dominated by lemony citricity and powdered stone. This brilliant calcaire wine finishes dusty, tactile and firm, with a hint of youthful bitterness. Showing little easy sweetness or early appeal, this very dry, salty wine can't match the '14 for its impeccable early balance but it should age for a long time despite its average acidity. (Dauvissat described the yield here as not a big crop due to a moderately successful flowering during cool, humid weather; between 40 and 45 hectoliters per hectare, about like 2014; acidity between 3.9 and 4.0 grams per liter; harvested on September 24): Stephen Tanzer1st November 2019
