CHATEAU LE PIN, 2010

16.960,00

Napravljeno od 100% merlota (jedan posto za svaku ocjenu koju sam dodijelio), ovo je vino eksplozivno bogato i uvjerljivo. Gusta šljiva/ljubičasta, može se pohvaliti izuzetnim ocrtavanjem i svježinom koji su obilježja ove berbe. Iz znatno manje proizvodnje od uobičajene zbog lošeg cvjetanja Merlota, vrlo vrućih, suhih uvjeta uzgoja i berbe, ovo je super obdaren, vrlo bogat Le Pin sa svojim egzotičnim novim hrastom koji je uvelike skriven iza njegove ekstravagantne koncentracije, snage i bogatstva. Ne znam koja mu je prirodna razina alkohola, ali sumnjam da će se u 2010. gurnuti za 15%. Bogat, taninski, ali iznimno obdaren, ovo je uzvišeni primjer Merlota u svom najboljem izdanju. Zaboravite ga na 5-7 godina (što je pomalo neobično za Le Pin) i pijte ga tijekom sljedeća tri desetljeća. Pijte 2018-2048.

Made from 100% Merlot (one percent for each rating point I’ve assigned), this wine is explosively rich and compelling. Dense plum/purple, it boasts the remarkable delineation and freshness that are hallmarks of this vintage. From a much smaller production than normal because of Merlot’s poor flowering, the very hot, dry growing and harvest conditions, this is a super-endowed, very rich Le Pin with its exotic new oak largely buried behind its extravagant concentration, power and richness. I don’t know what its natural alcohol level is, but I suspect it is pushing 15% in 2010. Rich, tannic, but exceptionally well-endowed, this is a sublime example of Merlot at its very finest. Forget it for 5-7 years (which is somewhat unusual for Le Pin) and drink it over the following three decades. Drink 2018-2048.

REGIJA / REGION

Pomerol je vrlo cijenjena apelacija crnog vina u regiji Bordeaux u jugozapadnoj Francuskoj. Pomerol nema formaliziran sustav klasifikacije vina (kao i Médoc, Graves, Sauternes i Saint-Émilion), a svoju je sadašnju slavu doživio u relativno kratkom vremenu. Pomerol se nalazi na istoku regije Bordeaux, u blizini Saint-Émiliona, u području poznatom kao Libournais – grad Libourne nalazi se južno od Pomerola. Dok je većina naziva nazvana po selu ili gradu unutar svojih granica, Pomerol nema takav epicentar.

Jug i zapad apelativa imaju pjeskovito tlo u odnosu na nešto teža tla na istoku, koja uključuju određeni udio gline. Upravo u ovom istočnom dijelu, na marginalno višoj zemlji gdje se Pomerol susreće sa Saint-Émilionom, proizvode se najbolja vina. Ovdje se nalaze tri najcjenjenija proizvođača Pomerola – châteaux Pétrus, Lafleur i Le Pin.

Merlot je dominantno grožđe u Pomerolu i ima veliku ulogu u tome da vina budu bogata, glatka i pristupačna već u ranoj dobi, a također su sposobna za produženo odležavanje. Često je prisutan i Cabernet Franc , koji dodaje strukturu i element slanog začina. Ove karakteristike znače da su vina Pomerol vrlo tražena na međunarodnom tržištu.

Pomerol is a highly regarded red wine appeal in the Bordeaux region of southwestern France. Pomerol does not have a formalized wine classification system (like Médoc, Graves, Sauternes and Saint-Émilion), and it experienced its current fame in a relatively short time. Pomerol is located in the east of the Bordeaux region, near Saint-Émilion, in an area known as Libournais – the city of Libourne is located south of Pomerol. While most names are named after a village or town within its borders, Pomerol does not have such an epicenter.

The south and west appellations have sandy soils compared to the slightly heavier soils in the east, which include a certain proportion of clay. It is in this eastern part, on the marginally higher country where Pomerol meets Saint-Émilion, that the best wines are produced. Here are the three most respected producers of Pomerola – châteaux Pétrus, Lafleur and Le Pin.

Merlot is the dominant grape in Pomerol and plays a major role in making wines rich, smooth and affordable at an early age, and also capable of prolonged aging. Cabernet Franc is also often present, which adds structure and an element of salty spice. These characteristics mean that Pomerol wines are in great demand on the international market.

O VINARIJI / ABOUT THE WINERY
Le Pin je maleno imanje od 2,7 hektara (6 jutara) u četvrti Pomerol u Bordeauxu. Stvorila ga je 1979. obitelj Thienpont (vlasnici obližnjeg Vieux Château Certana), a brzo se proslavila u borbi za titulu najskupljeg vina na svijetu. 100 -postotno vino Merlot iznimno je koncentrirano i bujno; često se može piti mlad, ali je najbolji s desetljećem starenja. Vinograd Le Pin okrenut je prema jugu i nalazi se na dobro dreniranom šljunčanom i pjeskovitom tlu koje daje izuzetno niske prinose. Sadi se i mala količina Cabernet Franca. Međutim, ovo se ne koristi u vinu Le Pin, a postupno se zamjenjuje Merlotom. Grožđe se bere ručno i fermentira u nehrđajućem čeliku prije odležavanja od 14 do 18 mjeseci u jednoj novoj hrastovoj bačvi, a zatim u drugoj. Proizvodnja je očito mala, ukupno iznosi samo 600 do 700 kutija godišnje - u usporedbi s 4.000 za Petrus i 20.000 i više za Médoc First Growths. Le Pin je dobio ime po dva bora u vinogradu. Na posjedu nema pravog dvorca, iako je 2011. otvorena nova vinarija koja je zamijenila stari podrum seoske kuće.
Le Pin is a tiny 2.7-hectare (6-acre) property in the Pomerol district of Bordeaux. It was created in 1979 by the Thienpont family (owners of nearby Vieux Château Certan), and quickly rose to prominence to vie for the title of most expensive wine in the world. The 100 percent Merlot wine is extremely concentrated and lush; it can often be drunk young but is best with a decade of aging. The Le Pin vineyard is south-facing and sits on well-drained gravel and sand soils which give extremely low yields. There is also a small amount of Cabernet Franc planted. However, this not used in the Le Pin wine, and is gradually being replaced by Merlot. Grapes are harvested by hand and fermented in stainless steel before 14 to 18 months' aging in first one new oak barrel, and then a second. Production is obviously tiny, totaling just 600 to 700 cases per year – compared with 4,000 for Petrus and 20,000 and more for the Médoc First Growths. Le Pin is named after two pine trees at the vineyard. There is no true château on the property, though a new winery was opened in 2011, replacing an old farmhouse basement.
