I tasted at Mouton with Jean-Louis Lafourcade, maitre de chai for both Armailhac and Clerc-Milon. Lafourcade said the cabernet sauvignon was superb in 2000: the crop level was 43 hectoliters per hectare for the estate, and an unusually high 85% of production will go into the grand vin The pH is a rather high 3.85 but total acidity is sound. "And the tannins are noble, like those of 1986," notes Lafourcade. But no cabernet franc will make it into any of Mouton 2000s, as this variety did not ripen completely and lacked the concentration of the sauvignon and merlot. I continue to like all three '99s from the Mouton stable; this vintage will give considerable early pleasure.

I was told at Mouton that because there was no greenness in the fruit in '98, it was possible to carry out much longer macerations without getting bitterness or a green taste in the wines. Moreover, sommelier/caviste Dominique Garcia added, the tannins in '99 were greener, and thus maceration times were shortened to avoid getting herbacity. Indeed, my tastings of these two vintages side by side showed a huge difference in style between the two sets of wines. The softer vinification in '99 has produced lush, silky wines with lovely sweetness and voluptuous texture. It remains to be seen whether the '99 Mouton will have the grip to be considered outstanding, but it will be utterly seductive. Extensive eclaircissage and strict selection will translate to 20% less D'Armailhac and Mouton being offered in '99.

Mouton had a late but relatively short harvest in '98, with nothing brought in before the rain of September 27. The yield was just 45 hectoliters per hectare. I was told that the '98 Mouton is actually lower in polyphenols, grape sugars and acidity than the '97, which suggests that the quality of fruit was compromised by the precipitation.
