帶呢支 Margaux 名莊白酒去 Blind Tasting，連高手都懷疑人生！

Baffling the Blind Tasting Masters with This Margaux White Wine

🍷 一場令盲品高手「懷疑人生」的挑戰

你有冇試過帶一支酒去朋友嘅 Blind Tasting（盲品），結果全場鴉雀無聲，連最資深嘅品酒師都皺晒眉頭？今次我哋就帶咗呢支來自 Château du Tertre 嘅白酒，去挑戰一班盲品老手——結果，佢哋真係「懷疑人生」！

Have you ever brought a bottle to a blind tasting and watched the room go silent, with even the most seasoned tasters scratching their heads? We took this white wine from Château du Tertre to challenge a group of blind tasting pros—and the result was pure bewilderment!

🌍 全球暖化下的破格創新

呢支酒嘅故事，要由全球暖化講起。作為 Margaux 五級莊，Château du Tertre 做咗一個極大膽嘅決定：保留傳統 Sauvignon Blanc，再混合 Chardonnay、南法耐熱嘅 Viognier，加埋 Gros Manseng，經過 6 個月木桶陳釀（Oak Aging）。結果？一支徹底打破波爾多「規則」嘅 VDF 白酒誕生咗。

The story starts with climate change. As a Margaux 5th Growth, Château du Tertre made a bold move: they kept traditional Sauvignon Blanc, then blended in Chardonnay, heat-tolerant Viognier from the South of France, and Gros Manseng, aged for 6 months in oak. The result? A VDF (Vin de France) white wine that defies all Bordeaux conventions. Available now at Kings Wine Cellar.

👃 聞落似南法，入口似 Burgundy，骨架卻係波爾多

呢支酒最令人驚喜嘅，係佢嘅「反差感」：

• 聞落（Nose）： 充滿南法風格——Viognier 帶嚟嘅花香、杏桃香，加上 Sauvignon Blanc 嘅草本氣息。
• 入口（Palate）： 似 Burgundy 白酒——Chardonnay 嘅奶油香、木桶陳釀帶嚟嘅圓潤質感，層次豐富。
• 收尾（Finish）： 竟然係海鹽礦物感，完全係波爾多白酒嘅骨架，清爽而悠長。

This wine is all about contrasts:

• Nose: Southern France—floral and apricot notes from Viognier, herbal hints from Sauvignon Blanc.
• Palate: Burgundy—creamy Chardonnay with 6 months of oak aging, giving a round, layered texture.
• Finish: A stunning sea-salt minerality—pure Bordeaux backbone, crisp and long.

「聞落似南法，入口似 Burgundy，骨架仲保留波爾多嘅感覺。」—— 醉啱Kings

🎯 盲品騙局：點解高手都估唔到？

Blind Tasting 嘅核心係「根據典型風格推斷產區」。但呢支酒嘅混釀完全打破常規：Chardonnay 通常係 Burgundy 或新世界，Viognier 典型係南法或 Rhône，Gros Manseng 則多見於西南法。當呢三種葡萄撞埋一齊，再加埋 Sauvignon Blanc，任何「典型」都變成「異常」。

The essence of blind tasting is deducing the region from typical style. But this blend breaks all rules: Chardonnay screams Burgundy, Viognier points to Southern France, and Gros Manseng is classic South-West France. Throw in Sauvignon Blanc, and every “typical” clue becomes a red herring.

📚 品酒教學：學識呢幾招，Blind Tasting 無難度

想提升自己嘅盲品技巧？記住以下幾點：

1. 先聞後飲： 香氣往往透露最多線索——花香、果香、草本、礦物，逐層拆解。
2. 留意酸度與酒體： 冷涼氣候嘅白酒酸度高、酒體輕；溫暖氣候嘅則相反。呢支酒嘅酸度中等，但酒體圓潤，令人困惑。
3. 唔好忽略收尾： 礦物感係波爾多白酒嘅標誌，但呢度嘅海鹽味又似來自法國西部海岸。
4. 混釀係最大陷阱： 當你遇上非典型混釀，就好似呢支酒，所有「規則」都要拋開。

Want to sharpen your blind tasting skills? Keep these tips in mind:

1. Smell first: Aromas reveal the most—floral, fruity, herbal, mineral—decode them layer by layer.
2. Note acidity & body: Cool-climate whites are high-acid, light-bodied; warm-climate are the opposite. This wine’s medium acidity and round body confuse the senses.
3. Don’t ignore the finish: Minerality is a Bordeaux hallmark, but here the sea-salt note feels like the Atlantic coast.
4. Blends are the ultimate trick: When you meet an unconventional blend like this, throw all the “rules” out the window.
