2010 Bordeaux En Primeur Offer
|
|
Another en primeur campaign is upon us and it's a
goodie. From what I've tasted in the last few months
- both in London and Bordeaux - it is clear that it's
one of the goodies: a vintage to rank
alongside the best in history.
|
|
And there is a certain amount of sheepishness
emanating from France at present; the sort of aura of
discomfort one might notice in, say, a presenter on
the Antiques Roadshow who, having just declared on
camera that a particular George I swizzle stick is
quite the finest he has ever seen, suddenly realises
that the next three people in the queue are also
bearing George I swizzle sticks of equal or greater
significance. The reason for these ovine sentiments
is, of course, that 2010's immediate predecessor was
dubbed one of the greatest of all time. Should 2010
be declared greater than the greatest, then?
|
|
The truth of the matter is that in many instances,
when tasting the young wines last year, one found
oneself wondering how it would be possible for wines
at this stage of their development to make more of an
impression. To have those musings so swiftly answered
is uncanny.
|
|
As I understand it, the greatest vintages of Bordeaux
are frequently those in which the vineyards have been
subjected to draught during the growing season. Both
2009 and 2010 comply with this pattern. However,
whilst 2009 was hot and dry, 2010 - at least during
August and September - was cool and dry and it is
this difference that has separated the vintages
stylistically.
|
|
2010 has produced much fresher wines. They are at
least as high in tannin and alcohol as those produced
in the 2009 vintage (itself breaking records in these
departments), yet whilst one finds almost Reubenesque
fruit among the tannin and alcohol of the 2009 wines,
the fruit of the 2010 clarets is chiselled, facetted,
tightly controlled and aristocratic.
|
|
I must now say that I have never encountered such
concentrated, structured, fresh, pure and elegant
wines in Bordeaux. Some are massive, borderline
behemoths. The best are simply beautiful, despite the
weight of their statistics. At the top levels they
will probably outlast every single person alive in
the world today. At every level they will give the
utmost pleasure when mature.
