2020 E. Guigal Gigondas

品飲筆記：深紫寶石色，香氣濃郁，帶有熟桃與杏的果香，並夾雜甘草、林下香氣與溫暖香料。入口飽滿有力，酒體豐厚，單寧結實但細緻，餘韻優雅且綿延。生產說明：這是家族系列中的代表作，Marcel 與 Philippe 每年親自把關選果與調配，穩定呈現產區風格。釀造工藝採傳統長時間浸皮，隨後在大型法國橡木桶中熟成兩年（50% 新桶），橡木為整體帶來支撐而不搶果味。葡萄園環境：來自古老沖積土、紅黏土與礫石坡地，葡萄藤平均約40年，土地賦予礦物感與結構。建議醒酒一小時，搭配燒烤羊肉、重口味燉菜或風乾起司最對味。

Tasting Note: Deep purple in the glass, this Gigondas opens with intense aromatics of stone fruit — peach and apricot — layered with liquorice, undergrowth and warm spice. The palate is generous and powerful: full-bodied with pronounced, structured tannins and a long, elegant finish. Producer Notes: Part of the family Collection illustrating E. Guigal’s commitment to consistency and quality; Marcel and Philippe Guigal oversee careful selection and blending. Winemaking Notes: Traditional vinification with lengthy maceration followed by two years’ ageing in large French oak foudres (50% new oak), producing a wine with oak framing but preserved fruit. Vineyard Notes: Sourced from slopes of ancient alluvia, red clay and gravel; vines average around 40 years old. Production is substantial yet attentive (≈120,000 bottles). Closure: cork. Serve slightly below room temperature and decant to open up the aromatics and soften tannins.
