Bordeaux En Primeur 2024 is officially underway - here’s a roundup of this week's releases
2024 Château Leoville Barton
Release Price: GBP 288 per 6x75cl IB (other formats available)
95-96pts James Suckling | "A classic Bordeaux that shows finesse and poise. This is understated, with a medium body, lovely texture and acidity, freshness and brightness. It shows firm tannins that aren't chewy. Very long and honest, with pure fruit. 92% cabernet sauvignon, 6% merlot and 2% cabernet franc."
2024 Château Langoa Barton
Release Price: GBP 156 per 6x75cl IB (other formats available)
93-94pts James Suckling | "A firm and refined red with blackcurrant and mineral character. Medium-bodied, chewy and polished, suggesting well-selected grapes for the vintage. Well done."
2024 Château Mouton Rothschild
Release Price: GBP 1521 per 6x75cl IB (other formats available)
97-9p8ts James Suckling | "This shows plenty of drive with dusty and creamy tannins that run the length of the wine and builds at the end. It’s medium-bodied showing a focus and energy. Dark currants and flowers flavor. This really has length and it has the depth to improve with age. 93% cabernet sauvignon and 7% merlot."
