This morning the Bordelais are back to work after the Pentec\u00f4te<\/em> weekend, and another little deluge of new releases hits the market. The biggest release today is L\u00e9oville Barton<\/strong>, a fantastic wine to buy for yourself if you are optimistic and for your children if you are generous. Since all our customers are sunny optimists and generous to a fault, we expect this to fly. Lilian Barton says of this year’s release “The wine is of excellent quality, quite different to 2009 with a firmer structure but the tannins are perfectly mature and we have purposely avoided over extraction. We have tried to keep our price reasonable in a very difficult year when some wines have increased by nearly 40%. We cannot completely ignore this market tread but have not followed these in the same proportion.”<\/p>\n

Climens<\/strong> has been released\u00a0 – I did not taste this as I was unable to visit the Chateau, but a negociant friend says “For those who were unlucky enough not to have the time to visit the chateau and taste the wine out of barrel – this wil be truly memorable wine !”\u00a0– as with all Sauternes from L&S this year there is no premium for half cases or for half bottles – treat yourself to a case of 12 halves?<\/p>\n

Two ‘better value’ wines are also out this morning, Gloria<\/strong>, which has had rave reviews from all critics, will drink quite young but keep 10-15 years.<\/p>\n

Every now and then market forces have strange effects. Who remembers that after Parker’s rave reviews of the 1998 right bank wines, Chateau Beauregard in Pomerol was released at a higher price than Leoville Barton? This year we have a reversal of left and right banks, with\u00a0Gloria coming out slightly above the price of Chateau Moulin Saint Georges<\/strong>, Alain Vauthier’s excellent ‘wine trade secret’ wine, which is shown between the value buy Fonbel<\/strong> and the totally unbelievable Ausone, and yet manages to hold its head up high. ‘MSG’ is a comparative bargain and although I loved Gloria, I think I’d rather have Moulin Saint Georges in the cellar – but they are different beasts.<\/p>\n

The Cathiards of Smith Haut Lafitte<\/strong> have decided to go for broke based on their rave reviews from Parker. Both colours of Domaine de Chevalier<\/strong> are made to look bargains this morning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
