Taino Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 I’m always been a fan of new world wines, specially Chile and Argentina, but I’m impressed on the improvements Argentinean wines have made over the years. Chile has some great wines and I just love their Sauvignons, but I tried the 2002 J&F Lurton, Chacayes the other day and really left me with an open mouth. What a great wine!, never thought Argentineans could do wines like this. Simply extraordinary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colt45 Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Some of my current faves are Argentine malbecs and malbec blends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Gargett Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 these guys are french. jacques is a teriffic bloke - not met frederic, but they make wine all around the planet. jacques even has his own vineyard on kangaroo island. there are heaps of lurtons in bordeaux, where the family is extremely famous. cousin pierre makes both cheval blanc and yquem, making him one of the world's most high profile and important makers. incidentally, a girl who spent years making wine for them in spain and france and so on, and who is originally argentinian, is now the winemaker for summit estate on the granite belt and doing very good things.

Ken Gargett Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 » they are Jacques and Francois don't they? sorry - correct. there are about 17 lurtons currently working in or around and i get them confused. think i was thinking of frederic of latour - not a lurton - rathert han cheval.
