2011年的氣候很不尋常，這讓我們的技術團隊一直保持謹慎，且將所有的專業技能均發揮至極致。
這個年份非常早熟，春季溫度很高，降雨量在年初很少，隨後在夏季略微頻繁起來。而且，這個年份還一直受到白粉病的威脅（這種葡萄樹疾病在波爾多已較為罕見）。隨後，在準備採收時，一場大冰雹於9月1日降臨至波亞克北部和聖愛斯泰夫地區，另採收計劃有所變化。受影響的田塊最先得到收穫，不過並沒有受到重大損失，因葡萄已經完全成熟了！
品酒筆記（灌瓶時）：
深邃、濃烈的紫色酒裙。
鼻中香氣濃密，有著紅色和黑色果香、木香和辛料香。
口感非常濃密、強烈。有著非常複雜的尾香。
A blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Merlot (harvested between September 3-21), the 2011 Lafite Rothschild came in at 12.6% natural alcohol (considerably lower than in 2010 and 2009). Exhibiting a deep ruby/purple color, lots of crushed rock, red and black currant, forest floor and underbrush characteristics, moderate tannin and medium body, it is built somewhat along the lines of the 1999 and 2001. It should be a 20- to 25-year wine, but it is not at the level of the 2008, 2009 and 2010. Fresh acids give the wine a somewhat more clipped feeling than most great Lafites have exhibited. Nevertheless, there is a lot of freshness and vibrancy to this vintage. RP |
