*售完* F233 - Chateau Lespault-Martillac Rouge 2012, Pessac Leognan 拉斯普馬蒂雅紅

🔎騎士莊主 Olivier Bernard 經常路過的一家莊園，深深被這家莊園所吸引：

« IT IS HARD NOT TO FALL UNDER THE CHARM OF THIS SMALL ESTATE OVERLOOKING THE COMMUNE… »

💕心儀已久的小莊就係Lespault-Martillac 💕
2009他的願望終於實現，莊主Jean Claude Bolleau 跟 Olivier簽了一份長期合約，將Lespault-Matillac的管理和銷售交給Olivier，使得Olivier能夠全面接手這小酒莊，將其潛力充份展現出來，結果這締結良緣成就出動人的佳釀。

Olivier一開始目標就是發揮Lespault-Martillac 固有超卓的Terrior ，利用莊園的Merlot老樹，採用跟 Domaine de Chevalier 傳統的耕作方法, 採用生物動力及尊重土地態度管理葡萄園，釀酒方法跟Domaine de Chevalier一樣一絲不苟。

…THE SAME PRECISION WINEMAKING METHODS WE USE AT DOMAINE DE CHEVALIER…

釀酒時講求整顆葡萄的原整性，不弄破葡萄表皮，這對日後單寧結構的發展極其重要，酒莊紅酒的陳熟方法跟白酒一樣，頭幾個月都是跟Lees 一起待著，之後放到法國全新橡木桶陳熟14-15個月。眾人經常比喻騎士為頂級Medoc酒，擁有雄壯的單寧和驚人的深度，反之 Lespault-Martillac 風格則是女性化，屬於誘人細緻型，尤如右岸Pomerol的佳釀，來自只有7公頃的老樹Merlot ，產量每年只有2000箱… 要飲騎士新年份都要五六百起跳，想要以平價試到Olivier Bernard 的手勢，Chateau Lespault-Martillac就係不二之選

🏅Robert Parker 90 pts 
This property, which is owned by Domaine de Chevalier, has produced a wine that is a blend of 65% Merlot and 35% Cabernet Sauvignon. It is a very supple-textured, medium to full-bodied wine, with an impressively saturated ruby/purple color. The graphite, barbecue smoke, blackcurrants and black cherries make for an intriguing and fascinating medium to full-bodied wine with plenty of velvety texture. This is lush, plump, very complex and promising. Drink it over the next 10-15 years.

🏅James Suckling 91 pts
A solid and silky red with currant, berry and plum character. Full to medium body, fine tannins and a flavorful finish. Stylish and interesting. Better in 2016.

🏅Vinous / Antonio Galloni 
"The 2012 Lespault-Martillac is soft and open-knit, with the fruit pushed forward. Sweet red cherry, pomegranate, mint, spice and crushed flowers are all laced together nicely. The 2012 is 65% Merlot and 35% Cabernet Sauvignon. Much of the wine's juicy personality comes from the high presence of Merlot. Since 2009 Lespault-Martillac has been managed by Oliver Bernard and his team at Domaine de Chevalier."
