This morning sees the release of a trio of very impressive Saint Juliens. An excellent and highly-rated\u00a0LANGOA BARTON<\/a> <\/strong>\"L&S\"\u00a0has been released at\u00a0\u00a3420 per 12 IB<\/strong>, and the stylish\u00a0LA CROIX DE BEAUCAILLOU<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0\"L&S\"\u00a0has followed at exactly the same price.\u00a0The ‘sensational’ and ‘electrifying’ (Neal Martin, 96-98)\u00a0BEYCHEVELLE<\/a><\/strong> is also out at \u00a3680 per dozen IB<\/strong> – volumes are down 20% and for now this is limited to last year’s buyers. If you place firm orders we will do our best to fulfill them.<\/p>\n

From the\u00a0Haut M\u00e9doc,\u00a0SOCIANDO MALLET<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0\"L&S\"\u00a0is also out at \u00a3315 per dozen IB<\/strong>. This really impressed us with its\u00a0harmony, length and\u00a0mineral intensity in 2016. Neal Martin gave it 92-94 and called it ‘outstanding…one of the best wines produced at this estate<\/em>‘ – we can’t immediately recall a better vintage either. At this price you get a lot of quality for your money.<\/p>\n

Jancis Robinson absolutely loved Langoa Barton<\/strong> in 2016, giving it 17.5 points and calling it ‘long and precise,’<\/em> and ‘truly\u00a0terroir wine.’<\/em> Galloni was also a huge fan calling the 2016 ‘soft, pliant and absolutely delicious’<\/em> (90-93).\u00a0We couldn’t agree more and at \u00a3420 per dozen this sits nicely in the middle of our price-estimate so there is good value here too. We expect it to be very popular so do get your orders in as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.<\/p>\n

Also highly recommended is La Croix de Beaucaillou<\/strong>.\u00a0Jancis gave it 17 points and thought it ‘dramatic’<\/em> with ‘lots of spiciness and glamour.’<\/em> Neal Martin found ‘great tension’<\/em> and ‘immense purity’<\/em> in this wine giving it 92-94. While that score will have pleased\u00a0Bruno Borie, he’ll no doubt be disappointed that Neal still referred to La Croix as ‘Deuxi\u00e8me Vin<\/em>‘. Bruno is always at pains to point out that La Croix is not<\/em> a second wine but rather a\u00a0separate vineyard area that lies on the other side of the road, slightly further from the river. Whatever you call it, La Croix is a Saint Julien of real quality and class.<\/p>\n

As ever, you can keep up to date with everything out from #Bdx16 on our Recent Releases<\/a> page.<\/p>\n

Late morning news is that Lafite<\/strong> is expected to release this afternoon. However the first tranche is rumoured to\u00a0be 50% down on last year, so n\u00e9gociants will almost certainly hold back on offering any wine until they have the second tranche – and average the price.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
