Czech Republic is cool climate country. We are not able to make rich and full body wines but we have a negociant here who takes care about the vineyard in France. He makes beautiful full body red wines out of these grapes. The wines are completely finished and aged in our country by local winemaker Ing. Jiří Hort. The proof that Czech can do nice red wines but usually not from local grapes.

Château Mouton Rothschild, 1er Grand Cru Classé, Pauillac 2011, 0,75 l
85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc a 5% Merlot. 91 points Robert Parker Wine Advocate: The 1994 appears to be the finest Mouton-Rothschild made following the 1986 and before the 1995 conception. The wine exhibits a dense, saturated purple color, followed by a classic Mouton nose of sweet black fruits intermingled with smoke, pain grillee, spice, and cedar. Medium to full-bodied, with outstanding concentration, a layered feel, plenty of tannin, and rich, concentrated fruit, this wine is similar to the fine 1988. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2025.
