Vintage 2021 Part 1 - Bordeaux Left Bank

Thaum lub sij hawm mus xyuas lub zos ntawm Jonzac lub caij nplooj ntoos hlav no, ib tug hluas Bordeaux poj niam piav rau kuv yuav ua li cas los xyuas tag nrho cov zoo ntawm yav tas los wine vintage.

'Koj yeej tsis paub txog thaum lub Kaum Ib Hlis, Kaum Ob Hlis thiab Lub Ib Hlis. Tom qab ntawd, saib seb cov txiv hmab txiv ntoo pib pleev xim rau lawv lub tsev.'

Lavishing nyiaj ntawm kev kho vaj tse hauv tsev, nws hais tias, qhia kev ntseeg siab rau qhov zoo ntawm cov vintage tshiab, thiab xav tias yav tom ntej muag cawv.

Thaum lub caij ntuj no dhau los no thiab lub caij nplooj ntoo hlav tam sim no, ob peb tus neeg tsim khoom lag luam zoo li tau npuaj lub tsho tiv no ntawm emulsion ntawm qhov chaw nyob. Tsawg kawg, tseem tsis tau.

Nyob rau hauv kev sib piv rau lub opulence, ruaj, qauv thiab complexity sib koom los ntawm Bordeaux vintages los ntawm 2018 txog 2020, lub xyoo 2021 ua pov thawj nyuaj.

Cov huab cua yam tsawg kawg yog quixotic; ntawm qhov zoo tshaj plaws mercurial. Frost rau lub Plaub Hlis 6th, 7th thiab 8th Xyoo 2021 decimated ntau vineyards, thaum lub caij ntuj no los nag thiab lub caij nplooj ntoos hlav ntub dej propagated mildew thoob plaws hauv soggy Bordeaux vineyards. Muaj xov xwm tsaus nti ntxiv: qee tus neeg cog txiv hmab txiv ntoo-sib cais los ntawm kwj ha-hais lus sib txawv ntawm kev txom nyem. Amélie Osmond ntawm Clos du Notaire nyob rau hauv lub nroog Bourg, piv txwv li, nco qab tias lawv cov vines tau raug cawm dim los ntawm rompant Frost thiab festering mildew; Txawm li cas los xij, ib nrab ntawm lawv cov qoob loo tau deciated los ntawm ib qho nag xob nag cua hnyav heev.

Colin Hay-tus kws sau ntawv rau UK tshaj tawm Cov Dej Haus Lag Luam-sau hais tias huab cua hnyav thiab mob mildew ua rau qee cov kua txiv hmab txiv ntoo nrog ntsuab thiab tsis muaj qhov tsis sib haum xeeb nruab nrab, thiab xyoo 2021 yog vintage nyiam Cabernets tshaj Merlot. Ob leeg Stephanie du Boüard thiab nws txiv Hubert du Boüard ntawm Château Angélus hauv Saint-Émilion tau piav qhia txog 2021 vintage li ob qho tib si muag thiab nyuaj.

Tom qab ua piv txwv li ob peb puas xyoo 2021 Bordeaux wines (thiab ob peb los ntawm Burgundy), kuv qhov kev txiav txim yog tias qhov vintage heterogeneous no suav nrog cov ncov zoo tshaj plaws - ci ntsa iab acidity, silky tannins thiab cov txiv hmab txiv ntoo liab liab - sib cuam tshuam los ntawm thaj tsam ntawm cov nqi qis dua: feem ntau nyias nyias thiab. zaub ntsuab.

Xyoo 2021 vintage nyiam lub teeb thiab muag cawv ntau dua li lub raj mis yaug nrog tag nrho lub cev thiab lub zog. Yog li ntawd nws tilted nyiam rau Burgundian Premier thiab Grand Crus es tsis yog Bordeaux. Qhov tseeb no qhia txog kev lom zem cosmic; Raws li Wine Enthusiast magazine - 30 mus rau 50% ntawm Burgundy's 2021 tawm los tau raug tshem tawm los ntawm Frost uas kav ntev tshaj li qhov txias txias hauv Bordeaux. Nyob rau hauv lwm yam lus - zoo blazed nyob rau hauv ib tug vintage ntawm scarcity. Zoo nkauj wines, txawm tias me ntsis ntawm nws.

(Qhov no tsis tshua muaj nqi / qhov zoo tshaj qhov zoo ua rau muaj kev pom zoo yooj yim thiab pom tseeb: kev nqis peev hauv lilting thiab nquag stellar zoo tshaj plaws ntawm Burgundy 2021 tuaj yeem yog heev txawj ntse.)

Rov qab mus rau Bordeaux.

Pierre Courdurie, ntawm Croix de Labrie, tau piav qhia thaum peb tig iav tsom iav hauv nws lub tsev teev ntuj Saint-Émilion tias 2021 yog lub vintage winemaker es tsis yog ntuj vintage. Hauv lwm lo lus, rau 2021 Bordeaux - qhov zoo yog nyob ntawm qhov kev cuam tshuam thiab kev txiav txim siab ntawm winemakers dua li ntawm qhov txiaj ntsig ntawm ntuj tsim. terroir.

Tej kev nyuaj no yuav pab tau. Variance thiab heterogeneity muab cov lus qhia rau cov neeg ua haujlwm winemakers. Ntau dua li txaus siab rau cov khoom kim heev tsis ntev los no ntawm kev tshaj tawm vintages raws li tag nrho cov blockbusters raging nrog elegance, lawv raug yuam kom recalibrate cov tswv yim thiaj li yuav coax ntuj-battered txiv hmab txiv ntoo mus rau hauv tsim deliciously txaus nyiam kua txiv.

Rau xyoo 2021 cov cawv txiv hmab uas ci ntsa iab, vintage 2021 yuav zoo li tsim tau - tom qab xyoo, thiab txawm tias ntau xyoo lawm - cov slivers ntawm kev zoo nkauj: deft tannins, ebullient acidity thiab hnab tshos ntawm cov txiv hmab txiv ntoo nplua nuj tsw qab.

Kab lus peb ntu no ntawm vintage 2021 suav nrog cov ntawv tasting, cov qhab nia thiab pom zoo ua ke zaub mov rau ntau tshaj 200 wines.

Qhov thawj feem no suav nrog cov cawv los ntawm 'sab laug sab laug' ntawm Bordeaux - qhov chaw sab hnub poob ntawm Europe qhov loj tshaj plaws estuary - Gironde.

cov Qhov thib ob npog ntau Merlot thiab Cabernet Franc cov cawv txiv hmab nyob rau ntawm 'txoj cai bank' ntawm Bordeaux - sab hnub tuaj ntawm tib lub cev dej.

cov thib peb npog cawv los ntawm thaj av 'Entre Deux Mers'-ib daim duab peb sab av loj nyob hauv qab qhov sib txuam ntawm tus dej Garonne thiab Dordogne uas sib koom ua ke los tsim Gironde Estuary. Qhov no kuj suav nrog cov cawv los ntawm cov npe dav dav uas npog tag nrho cov Bordeaux (xws li Bordeaux Supérieur), nrog rau cov cawv uas tsis yog cawv. Kuj tseem suav nrog ob peb wines los ntawm ntau thaj tsam ntawm Fabkis, thiab-hauv ib kis-los ntawm lwm lub tebchaws (South Africa).

Cov ntawv sau tasting no yog cov ntsiab lus thiab txawm hais tias kuv tag nrho 'scorings' tej zaum yuav tshwm sim kuj siab - qhov tseeb yog tias Bordeaux tsis tu ncua ua kom muaj tseeb zoo nkauj: wines uas yog tag nrho ntawm kev siab zoo nrog rau kev tsim khoom thoob ntiaj teb. Txhawm rau kom nkag siab zoo dua (lossis tsim nyog dua - kom txaus siab zoo dua) qhov nyuaj thiab qhov tsis zoo ntawm vintage 2021 - nws yog qhov zoo tshaj los yuav ob peb lub raj mis thaum lawv tso tawm. Los yog lwm yam mus xyuas Bordeaux. Zoo dua - ua ob qho tib si.
