重返純淨清爽:Chablis唯一向北的一級田Les Lys

Rediscover the Crisp Purity: Les Lys, the Only North-Facing Premier Cru in Chablis

認識Chablis唯一向北的Sub-climat

在Chablis,眾多一級田和特級田大多朝南迎接陽光,但唯獨有一塊田是「背向陽光」的——那就是位於Vaillons一級園中的Les Lys。這塊田是Chablis所有Grands Crus與1er Crus中唯一向北的Sub-climat。在全球暖化的今天,大部分Chablis因陽光過盛而變得果香更為飽滿、酸度下降;想要找回20年前那種如同冰川水般純淨清爽的經典風格,Les Lys正是答案。

Among all the Grands Crus and Premier Crus in Chablis, most plots face south to embrace the sun. But one specific sub-climat turns its back on it: Les Lys within the 1er Cru Vaillons. It is the only north-facing sub-climat in the entire Chablis hierarchy. In the era of global warming, many Chablis have become riper and richer; to rediscover the classic, crisp, glacier-water purity of decades past, Les Lys is the hidden key.

Les Lys的稀缺性:只有5-6個酒莊單獨裝瓶

Vaillons一級園共有9個Sub-climats,大部分都面向南方,沐浴在溫暖的陽光下。Les Lys因為向北,成熟期較晚,保留了更高的天然酸度和礦物感。正因為這份「清冷」,它成為釀酒師眼中追求經典涼爽風格的稀缺產物。全Chablis僅有5至6個酒莊會將這塊田的葡萄單獨裝瓶,而不混入其他地塊。醉啱Kings Wine Cellar很榮幸為大家帶來其中兩款,讓香港酒友能夠親身體驗這份獨特的風土。

Vaillons Premier Cru encompasses nine sub-climats, most facing south to bask in the sun. Les Lys faces north, resulting in a later ripening profile that preserves higher acidity and minerality. This coolness has made it a rare gem for winemakers seeking the classic, crisp style of the past. Only five to six domaines bottle this sub-climat individually. Kings Wine Cellar is proud to offer two of these exclusive bottlings, allowing Hong Kong wine lovers to taste this unique terroir.
