Llopart Llegat Familiar Brut Nature 2011
Description
«Llegat Familiar » se veut un hommage sincère aux ancêtres de cette maison et un témoignage du temps et des paysages du Penedès. Ce vin effervescent portant le label Corpinnat est issu de La Viña de Paulino, une parcelle de cépages de Xarel·lo datant de 1935, plantées sur des marnes miocènes et des sols calcaires qui confèrent au fruit une concentration et une minéralité exceptionnelles. Après une rouge crianza exceptionnelle de plus de 12 ans sur lies et un travail artisanal minutieux comprenant le traditionnel « coup de poignée » (agitation des bouteilles) tous les quatre ans, nous vous présentons ici une édition de collection en série limitée. Un vin sublime, mûr et d’une longévité exceptionnelle, qui élève la viticulture catalane au plus haut niveau.

L'avis des experts
A complex nose of pastry, intertwined with grapefruit zest and a hint of jasmine. The medium- to full-bodied palate is concentrated and creamy, with elegant, persistent flavors and a saline note that adds depth to the long, silky finish. Aged 144 months on the lees. From a single 1935 xarel-lo vineyard with limestone soils. Drink or hold.
The 2011 Llegat Familiar was produced with grapes from a Xarel.lo vineyard, La Viña de Paulino, planted in 1935. 2011 was a warm vintage but with good rain. The grapes were hand harvested, and the free-run juice was left to ferment in stainless steel and then was refermented in bottle. This was disgorged after more than 13 years in bottle with the lees. It's serious, clean and balanced, a very traditional expression of the grapes and place. It has 11.3% alcohol and a pH of 3.02, and a bone-dry finish. It has complexity and nuance. but I was not blown away. Only 1,332 bottles were produced, but 270 of them were kept for the family reserve. It was disgorged in June 2025.
Llopart's Llegat Familiar, from a single parcel of 80 year old Xarel-lo on calcareous soils
has rapidly ascended to the heights of Penedès small band of exceptional long-aged Xarello.
It's a formidable wine of electric focus and drive, with a beautifully controlled ageing
character that stops well short of anything obvious. Jasmine and floral honey meet salty lime
and grapefruit in a palate with endlessly accelerating energy and drive, all held in beautiful
subtlety and transparency without a step out of place. It's a terrific achievement. 2025-2030
