Ned Goodwin MW shines a spotlight on the revered Château Mouton-Rothschild

Chateau Lafite Rothschild

Langton’s Buyer Justin Lane, a winemaker himself, looks at the state of natural wine and the evolution of the scene. From a decade of new wave wines from all corners of the winemaking world we experience wines that range from the sublime to the ridiculous.

Master of Wine Ned Goodwin visited Vinitaly 2022 for Langton’s and shares his insights around trends in Piedmont. Ned looks at Barolo, site selection, the rise of Barbaresco, the fashionability of the Alto Piedmont, the dabble with wholebunch, infusion versus extraction, earlier pruning and the latest bandwagon.

After a considerable hiatus, LANGTONS recently reviewed vintage quality from 2014 until 2022, all inclusive! Our approach was to draw on a confluence of anecdotal evidence, opinions and perspectives from salient growers across regions to provide ratings of 0-10.
