法國,波爾多;Bordeaux, France 🇫🇷


波爾多作為「葡萄酒故鄉」,目前有超過7,500個酒莊,每年都生產大量優質嘅葡萄酒。如果你係一個熱愛葡萄酒嘅人,有機會去法國旅行嘅話一定要去埋波爾多,甘就可以親身了解同感受當地嘅歷史、葡萄園同酒莊。😍

Bordeaux is regarded as one of the world’s finest win¬e producing regions. The whole department of Gironde is dedicated to wine growing.¬ The region is divided into two by the Gironde and Garonne rivers, knowing as Left Bank and Right Bank and separated into different AOCs such as Saint Estephe, Pauillac, Saint Julien, Margaux in Haut Medoc, renowned as their prestigious red wines. 😍

 

於1987年時脫離格拉夫,獨立成為AOC產區。產區命名時間雖短,但葡萄酒歷史非常悠久,其葡萄種植同相關貿易已有2000年歷史! 佩薩克-雷奧良氣侯較上梅鐸溫暖, 土壤主要為沙質碎石土壤, 而複雜性令區內可以同時生產優質嘅紅酒同白酒。🍷 🥂

佢哋嘅紅酒主要以赤霞珠 同品麗珠混釀, 風格變化多樣,以黑醋栗味和雪松味為主導風味; 白酒就以長相思和賽美蓉為主, 充滿果香, 而且勁有陳年潛力. 👍🏻

Pessac-Leognan, famous in producing both red and white wines which was created in 1987 after the separation from Graves AOC. Gravel and pebbles soil, together with slightly warmer climate and the complexity of soil have formed the terroir of Pessac. Grapes used for their reds are tended to use Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, creating exquisite, fruity wines with a sense of freshness. 👍🏻 Meanwhile, their white wines are made predominantly from Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon, making it long-lived with full of fruitiness. 🥂

 

今日揀咗於2019榮獲Best of Wine Tourism金獎🥇嘅史密斯拉菲特酒莊作為代表。但酒莊出產嘅紅酒通常陳年10年以上先適飲,我地飲住佢嘅2nd Wine先~ 2014 Les Hauts de Smith梅洛比例比正牌高,酒體中等,香氣清新可人,充滿黑色水果香,紫羅蘭、布冧加淡淡嘅草本,而家飲就啱啱好! 😋

Our recommendation today: Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte has been awarded Gold Winner for Best Of Wine Tourism in 2019.🥇 Usually, Smith Haut Lafitte requires ageing over a decade to become approachable, let's enjoy its second wine now. 2014 Les Hauts de Smith has higher proportion of Merlot compare to its first label. Medium bodied, with loads of black fruits, bouquet of violet and herbal, making it juicy and fresh. 😋
