Bordeaux En Primeur 2017 Report
When it comes to questions about Bordeaux 2017 it seems, the answers often begin with ‘Yes, but...’ Langton’s was on the ground in Bordeaux again this year to taste the wines en primeur. Jeremy Parham, Langton’s General Manager, and Florian Thoelke, Langton’s Senior Buyer enjoyed (or survived) a whirlwind week of barrel tastings, Château visits and meetings with negociants. What they discovered on the ground in Bordeaux was a relatively low-yield vintage full fresh wine, in very good condition. More

Coonawarra and the Pfalz. How’s that for a double? In this last, another short week, these two wine regions -- a bit over 15,000km apart -- came together on our tasting bench. Equally impressive, in their different ways, were the Coonawarra Cabernets of Parker Coonawarra Estate (including the 2015 vintage of the Langton’s Classified ‘First Growth’ Cabernet) and the fine, dry Rieslings of Dr Bürklin-Wolf.
