17 RENE GABRIEL: "90 % Merlot, 10 % Cabernet Franc. Sattes Purpur-Granat, dicht in der Mitte, lila Schimmer aussen. Intensives, rotes Kirschenbouquet,
Brombeeren, Kaffeenoten, Kräuter, kompaktes Nasenbild. Im Gaumen fest, gut stützende Säure, wiederum Mocca im Finale, verlangend und durch
den sehr niedrigen Ertrag (28 hl/ha) sehr konzentriert. Vor allem für diesen Jahrgang. Braucht Zeit und wird dabei vielleicht immer etwas markant
bleiben."
91-93 PARKER: "Yields for the 2011 Louis were 19 hectoliters per hectare, the final blend was 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc, and the wine tips the scales at 14.5% natural alcohol. A deep purple color is accompanied by notes of graphite, wood smoke, licorice, black cherries and black currants. It is gloriously fruity, medium to full-bodied and substantial in the mouth. Slightly higher acids (or is it lower pH?) account for a more delineated, crisper, more vibrant style than in the blockbuster years of 2009 and 2010. The 2011 Louis should drink well for 15 or more years.
Formerly known as Rol de Fombrauge, this estate was purchased by the late Thierry de la Brosse (also the co-owner of the famous Parisian bistro, l-Ami Louis) in 2006. Stephane Derenoncourt has overseen the vineyard and winemaking since the family-s acquisition. The vineyard has been broken into two parcels, 7.5 acres for Louis and 5 acres for La Reserve de Louis." |
