Larrivet Haut-Brion 拉裡奧比昂的冒險經歷

翻開塵封已久的檔案，沉浸其中，我們將發覺拉里奧比昂的歷史複雜且豐富。從1840年至今，拉里奧比昂的聲譽從未停止向前的腳步。首先，它曾被命名為“Château de Canolle”，“La Rivette ”，再到後來的“Brion-Larrivet ”，直到1874年莊園幾乎才有了它最終的名字。在莊園為波爾多葡萄酒批發商Ernest Laurent所有時期，再次被改名為Château Haut-Brion Larrivet。1893年拉里奧比昂的業主為   Théodor Conseil 的兒子們。他們將其擴大及發展，葡萄園達到了50公頃。時間被推動到1898年，傳奇的一年，莊園的葡萄酒被當時最有名的葡萄酒指南   Féret 列入格拉芙產區最佳葡萄酒。上世紀三十年代，葡萄種植業危機的到來將整個產業漸漸連根拔起，生產幾乎停止。1941年，Guillemaud先生成為新業主，1929年莊園最終被命名為：拉里奧比昂。而 Guillemaud 家族也將莊園細心照料到1982年。

一座標誌性和充滿希望的莊園

​1987年   Gervoson 家族接手拉里奧比昂並致力於恢復它的聲譽。當時酒莊擁有17公頃的葡萄園和13公頃的樹林。酒莊主夫婦   Philippe 和   Christine 信守他們的承諾，開始整體整修莊園。僅僅幾年，通過購買周邊葡萄園，種植新葡萄園，莊園擴展到72.5公頃（11.5公頃白葡萄園，61公頃紅葡萄園）。同時，工作團隊忠誠，互相啟發，互相鼓舞，不斷現代化基礎設施，重組葡萄園（進行深入的地質研究）從而確保生產高品質的葡萄酒，以它的特質和優雅脫穎而出。總經理兼釀酒師   Bruno Lemoine，在2007年帶著他的專業，和他對葡萄酒業特有的敏感度與我們一起踏上這次冒險的旅途。拉里奧比昂特有由女性傳承的基因。2009年團隊再一次壯大，公關經理   Emilie Gervoson，莊主夫婦的三個女兒之一，這位同樣對葡萄酒文化熱情濃厚，富有享樂主義的第二代莊園代表。Bruno和   Emilie 同謀互補的二人給莊園帶來了煥然一新的視野。

從葡萄園到酒窖

在被酷愛葡萄酒的熱情的帶動下，拉裡·奧比昂的團隊每日監管，嚴謹和細緻的護理葡萄園。直到收穫健康，成熟完美的葡萄。主要的採摘環節結束，開始，酒窖中心，微妙的釀造工作和葡萄酒的陳釀，名副其實的專業技術成果。

Larrivet Haut-Brion Rouge 

"非常漂亮的深石榴紅，嗅覺上，散發出複雜而迷人的烘焙味，烤吐司氣息，一絲淡淡的香草味上混合著黑色水果的芳香。在口中，溫柔，濃郁而有衝擊力，變化迅速而協調。品過後，餘味悠長，單甯漸漸融化。一瓶將給予耐心等待它的人驚喜的美酒。"

酒莊近代史由Gervoson家族從1987年接管莊園開始，積極收購鄰近的土地拓展葡萄園，由原本的17公頃擴展至72.5公頃，鄰居有Haut Bailly 同La Louviere，現在酒莊已交由三個女其中之一 Emilie Gervoson 接棒打理。Chateau Larrivet Haut Brion 被公認為非列級莊當中的列級莊，意思即係出品質量早已達到列級莊水平，唯獨未有機會升級，飲開法國酒既酒友都知道波爾多的分級制度有若干程度的落後，未能全面反映各酒莊之間的出品質量，此酒莊不論紅白㫮出色，今次推薦了她的正牌Larrivet Haut Brion 的旗艦紅酒一試老年份1998年的韻味，千萬別錯過!

Captivating aromas of berry, raspberry and mineral. Full-bodied, with very silky, well-integrated tannins and a long finish. A caressing wine from a château to watch.

(2016年分數)

James Suckling 94 pts

Very attractive, earthy aromas with an array of herbal and leafy notes, as well as a dark-berry thread and earthy complexity. The palate has great depth and drive with a bright array of juicy red and darker berries. Plush, ripe tannins.

What a brilliant vintage this is - just so complete. Honestly at this level, where prices don't change that dramatically between vintages, you should go for the 2016 if you have the option. It's on a different level in terms of depth and structure, and has opened up further from my tasting two years ago. You can drink it now, although will probably improve again over the next few years. Excellent Pessac-Léognan character, polish and balance but also plenty of black fruits and great chocolate; hard to argue with.

Lively cassis and damson plum fruit gives this a fresh feel, while light sanguine and singed alder notes add contrast through the finish.

Wine Enthusiast 93 pts

With tannins that are ripe and velvety, this is already a generous wine. At the same time, it has a line of acidity that keeps it crisp and brings out the black currant fruitiness. Put the two elements together and the wine will be on top form after 2027.

Also terrific, the 2016 Château Larrivet Haut-Brion is in the same league as the 2015 and offers a perfectly balanced, medium to full-bodied style as well as complex notes of red and black fruits, smoke tobacco, incense, and cedar. It picks up a Graves-induced cold fireplace note as it sits in the glass, and again, is a beautifully balanced, layered 2016 that has loads of character. Give bottles a few years and enjoy over the following 15+.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 92 pts

Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2016 Larrivet Haut-Brion reveals a beguiling, earthy/truffle-laced nose with notions of crushed rocks, tilled soil, fungi and mossy bark over a core of warm cassis and blackberry compote. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is elegantly crafted with soft, fine-grained tannins and seamless freshness, finishing with a quiet intensity of savory nuances.

1998年（TF508A）-$498/支

2016年（TF508B）-$360/支
