拉卡班酒莊（Chateau La Cabanne）是法國波爾多 Pomerol產區的酒莊，亦為波爾多特級酒莊聯合會（Union Des Grands Crus De Bordeaux）的成員之一。

酒莊的名字取自酒莊所在地拉卡班（La Cabane）。拉卡班酒莊是波美候最古老的酒莊之一，位於波美侯產區的中心，其栽培葡萄的歷史可追溯至羅馬時代，當時孤立的小屋就是那些種植葡萄的農民們的棲身之所。1952年，Estager family 收購了拉卡班酒莊。如今，Francois Estager負責管理著莊園的一切事務。

拉卡班酒莊的大部分建築都是新的。儘管如此，酒莊還是得進行翻修，因為環境使然。2010年的一場大火摧毀了他們的大部分土地，還燒毀了整個2008年份的葡萄酒。酒莊於2011年進行了一次整體性的改建工作，如今生機勃勃的莊園還會定期更新設備，這都是為了逐步地重組葡萄園。在完全尊重法定產區規定的前提下，酒莊採用傳統與現代相結合的葡萄栽培方式。

酒莊葡萄園占地8.84公頃，種植了94%的梅洛和6%的品麗珠。土壤類型是粘土和砂礫土。拉卡班酒莊的葡萄園位置極佳，葡萄園的心臟地帶位於波美候高原的邊，擁有令人驚歎的風土條件。這些葡萄樹的平均樹齡為30歲。葡萄園可分為9個單獨的地塊，其中最老的地塊的葡萄樹的年齡接近40歲。他們最好的葡萄樹就種在城堡後面，土壤裏有藍色的粘土。葡萄園的種植密度為每公頃6500棵。葡萄酒是在8個傳統的、可溫控的小圓錐形不銹鋼酒罐中釀制的，規格大小從70百升到80百升不等。蘋果乳酸發酵在桶內進行。在裝瓶前，葡萄酒要在60%新的法國橡木桶中陳釀近15個月。每年的產量接近2500箱。

This is even fresher, more linear and intense. Full body and just a baby right now. Solid and muscular. Long and powerful. Exciting. Still needs time

Deep ruby. Floral blackberry and pepper aromas on the clean nose. Spicy in the mouth, with pure flavors of red fruits and truffle. Very linear, almost austere, on the nicely tannic, long finish. A real surprise: this is the best young La Cabanne I have ever tasted. Well done.

🏅James Suckling 94 pts (2016)

A beautifully floral and fragrant wine that has deep, slate and stony nuances with abundant fresh berries, plums and mulberries. The slate and graphite continue to the finish with a wealth of super fine, plush and concentrated tannins. Try from 2022.

The 2016 La Cabanne is a blend of 94% Merlot and 6% Cabernet Franc picked from the end of September. François Estager told me that like last year, he did not add any sulphites until after the malolactic fermentation. It has a well-defined bouquet with black cherries, a touch of cassis, a lovely marine influence and crushed violets. It opens beautifully in the glass. The palate is fresh on the entry with crisp, tensile tannin and very well-judged acidity. This Pomerol displays great energy and poise, fanning out on the second half that demonstrates superb mineralité. This is an unmissable follow-up to the 2015 La Cabanne. Tasted twice with consistent notes.
