Tasting note
卓龍 2014 帶著 Pomerol 特有的濃度與細緻度,田地由黏土與礫石交錯構成,地下還有帶鐵質的「crasse de fer」,這類土壤賦予酒體沉實的力量與礦感。葡萄以人工採收,經過人工與光學雙重挑選後,在小型混凝土槽中發酵,之後多用新橡木桶熟成。酒色深邃,香氣從黑果、李子延伸到紫羅蘭、黑巧克力與皮革,口感厚實但綿密,奶油般的中段和細緻卻有力的丹寧互相支撐,尾韻悠長帶礦質回甘。裝瓶後仍有長時間陳年潛力,建議醒酒一段時間再享用,配濃郁紅肉或菌菇料理最配。
Château Trotanoy 2014 is a deeply concentrated Pomerol with outstanding depth and ageworthiness. From soils of dense clay and gravel capped by crasse de fer, the wine shows a powerful, dense colour and an intense aromatic profile: dark fruit, violet florals, cocoa and leather notes unfold in layers. Vinified in small concrete vats with manual harvest and double sorting, maturation occurs in mainly new oak, producing a plush, creamy mid-palate and finely woven tannins. Expect a full-bodied, mineral-anchored wine with seamless richness and a long, lingering finish — best decanted before serving and ideal with robust red meats and earthy dishes.
Winery
卓龍酒莊自18世紀末即被視為 Pomerol 的重要產區,自1953年由 Jean-Pierre Moueix 收購後聲名更盛。酒庄坐落於緩坡上,土壤由礫石漸變為厚重黏土,底層有富含鐵的硬層(crasse de fer),讓葡萄獲得深厚結構與礦物特質。釀造上採人工採收與雙重篩選,於小型混凝土槽發酵,並以多數新橡木桶陳年,目的是保留果實濃縮度同時塑造優雅的架構與長久陳年力。
Château Trotanoy, purchased by Jean-Pierre Moueix in 1953, is a storied estate on the Pomerol plateau. The vineyard’s mosaic of gravel and heavy clay — with an iron-rich crasse de fer subsoil — has long been prized for producing wines of power and concentration. Fruit is hand-harvested and rigorously sorted; fermentation takes place in small concrete vats and élevage is carried out primarily in new oak, aiming to marry intense fruit concentration with refined structure and long-term ageing potential.
