Château Laville, Sauternes (Bordeaux). Clay-limestone soils at the confluence of the Ciron and Garonne rivers, where the morning mists rising from the Ciron create the conditions for Botrytis cinerea to develop. A blend of Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle.

Harvested through tries successives: multiple hand-picking passes through the vineyard to select only perfectly botrytised bunches at peak ripeness. Fermentation and ageing in French oak barrels.

Identificación
Château Laville 2015 es un vino dulce de la región de Sauternes, en Burdeos, Francia, elaborado por la bodega Château Laville.

Procedencia y elaboración
El viñedo se asienta en suelos arcillo-calcáreos situados en la confluencia de los ríos Ciron y Garona. Las nieblas matinales procedentes del Ciron favorecen el desarrollo de la botrytis cinerea, factor esencial para la producción de este estilo. Se elabora con Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc y Muscadelle. La vendimia se realiza mediante pasadas sucesivas a mano (tries successives), seleccionando únicamente los racimos que alcanzan el punto óptimo de botritización. La fermentación y la crianza tienen lugar en barricas de roble francés.

Perfil sensorial
La nariz presenta un perfil notablemente meloso con matices de azúcar de cebada y una concentración respetable. En boca, el vino se muestra redondo y meloso, con una gran pureza. El paladar integra notas de almendra y melocotón que se entrelazan con la dulzura base, culminando en un final meloso que desemboca en un regusto especiado.

Puntuaciones y críticas
The Wine Advocate (Parker) ha valorado esta añada con 90 puntos. En su comentario, describe el vino como una agradable sorpresa, destacando su pureza y la complejidad de su final especiado.

Carácter general
Se trata de un Sauternes con una estructura equilibrada, redondo y meloso, con una expresión clara de los frutos y especias característicos de la botrytis bien gestionada.

PARKER: 90

The 2015 Laville has a commendable honeyed, barley sugar-tinged nose that shows respectable concentration. The palate is rounded and honeyed in the mouth, very pure with hints of almond and peach infusing the honeyed finish, which leads into a spicy aftertaste. This is a pleasant surprise from a Sauternes I am not familiar with.

Learn more about Château Laville

The property sits in Preignac, right on the edge of the Ciron, and is one of the oldest in the commune. It was also among the first to bottle at the château itself, in the early 1900s, when the norm in Bordeaux was to sell wine in barrel to the trade and let the trade bottle it and put a name on it.

Fourteen hectares on gravel bedded in limestone. Ninety per cent sémillon and ten per cent sauvignon blanc.

The Barbe family runs it, and there is an uncommon detail here: the owner holds a doctorate, and his thesis, defended in 2000, was on noble rot itself. He has spent the years since testing in his own vineyard, harvest after harvest, what he wrote about.

The wine is aged for thirty months in new four-hundred-litre barrels.
