What Makes a Great Barolo Vintage? Establishing a Framework (May 2021) | Vinous

What Makes a Great Barolo Vintage? Establishing a Framework
BY ANTONIO GALLONI | MAY 11, 2021
What makes a great Barolo vintage? Unlike some regions, Bordeaux being the most notable, Piedmont does not have an established framework that sets out the criteria required for a vintage to be considered very high in potential quality. Clearly many observers have views, but I have never seen them codified. What follows is my framework of objective criteria that are necessary in order for a Barolo (or Barbaresco) vintage to be considered truly great. It is inspired by the late Denis Dubourdieu and the model he developed for assessing young Bordeaux vintages and the research my colleague Alessandro Masnaghetti has done in collecting and analyzing weather, harvest dates and other data. To that, I add my 20+ years of visiting the region and all of the information I have gathered in speaking with winemakers, agronomists and other professionals over that time, plus drinking more than my fair share of the wines. As with Dubourdieu’s model, this framework addresses the growing season, and does not venture into an assessment of the wines. This is very much a working model. It is meant to be tested, broken and refined over time.

The Best Bordeaux 2017 Wines To Try Now, According To Our Resident Wine Expert

Château Grand Puy Ducasse 2017 (Pauillac)
Having had input from both late Bordeaux icon Denis Dubourdieu and Chateau Angelus’ Hubert de Boüard, GPD is always a sure bet for ageing and a bargain to boot. The 2017 is an exercise in classicism with a lapsang souchong, graphite and blackcurrant nose, and seamless, polished structure with ample acidity and supple tannins.
Château Duhart-Milon 2017 (Pauillac)
Château Duhart-Milon 2017 (Pauillac)
Forever in the shadow of its neighbour and stablemate Lafite Rothschild, Duhart- Milon was once thought of as that illustrious property’s “second wine”. In fact there is a shared courtliness and translucency between the two. In this already lighter year, the fruit shaded into strawberry with a hint of cabernet franc-like paprika, despite there being nary a trace of franc in the blend.

Seguin Moreau Debuts QTT Barrel

Seguin Moreau Debuts QTT Barrel
Posted on February 23, 2021
NAPA, Calif., — After more than ten years of research and development conducted in collaboration with the Institute of Vine and Wine Sciences (ISVV) in Bordeaux, Seguin Moreau is proud to unveil the QTT barrel.
QTT, or the molecules quercotriterpenosides, are a new family of oak compounds found to play a key role in sensory profiles of wines aged in barrels and are responsible for the sensation of “sugariness” and sweetness in dry wines.
The discovery of QTT and of a structurally close sub-family Glu-AB, molecules characterized by their bitterness, provide scientific explanations for oak-aged wines’ taste balance. Previously the volume, sweetness and roundness seen during oak aging wine had been unexplained. Extensive research by the teams of Professor Denis Dubourdieu and Doctor Axel Marchal (ISVV) uncovered new correlations, which were followed by five years of studies and analysis—first to determine with certainty the molecules’ presence in oak wood and then to optimize their effects on wine. In 2014, the teams jointly filed a patent.

What is premature oxidation? Ask Decanter

Decanter
What is premature oxidation in wine, and is it still an issue today?
The vexed issue of premox – premature oxidation – in wine was a phenomenon that was first noticed in the early years of the new millennium, and seemed particularly (though not exclusively) to have affected white Burgundies produced in 1995/96 and on.
Wines that ought normally to have been capable of maturing over a long period, even from top-flight producers, were found to be showing signs of oxidising and tiring well before one might reasonably expect them to – colours dulling or fading to brown, fresh fruity aromas and tastes disappearing to be replaced by bruised apple, honeyed, waxy or stewed fruit characters.

What is oxidation in wine? - Ask Decanter

It can result in a wine losing its primary fruit characters and developing a brown hue.
But for certain styles of wine, controlled oxidation – and also what some would call ‘micro-oxidation’ – encourages desirable characteristics to develop, such as more complex flavours and less astringency.
When the wine is exposed to the air for too long, alcohol is first oxidised to acetaldehyde, which smells like bruised apples at high concentration levels.
It finally becomes acetic acid, when the wine is literally turned into vinegar.
The enemy of wine?
Over-exposure to oxygen in air is a constant threat throughout winemaking.
It begins when the grape berries are crushed; the freshly released phenolic compounds from the seed, skin and stem are ‘among the most readily oxidised wine constituents’, according to research on
