Tasting note

龐德格力（Pontet‑Canet）1999 年份來自波雅克經典產區，是一支強調田土與自然耕作的成熟波爾多酒。香氣以煙草、黑醋栗和帶土質感的野莓為主，細緻的香辛與些微雪松、皮革氣息陸續浮現。口感屬中等酒體，入口柔滑、單寧已被時間磨圓但仍有支撐感，尾段帶有礫石礦感與一點青香，結尾清爽不過分厚重。 酒莊與葡萄園：這座五級酒莊由 Tesseron 家族擁有，約 81 公頃的園地通過有機與生物動力認證（Ecocert、Biodyvin、Demeter），土壤為第四紀礫石，強烈表現出產區礫質與排水特性，葡萄園管理重視健康與平衡。 釀造小記：手工採收（小籃子）、人工篩選與去梗，採用原生酵母發酵、為期四週的軟式浸皮並以輕柔下壓，乳酸發酵於大槽完成。陳年 16–18 個月：50% 新法國橡木桶、35% 混凝土陶甕、15% 單一酒桶，這樣的組合既帶香草與烘烤層次，也保留純粹果味。 飲用建議：建議醒酒約 45 分鐘，使香氣與口感打開；配以烤紅肉、野味或風乾、熟成乳酪最為合拍。這支酒保有成熟的複雜度，喝時可留意柔順的口感與礫質尾韻。

1999 Chateau Pontet-Canet is a classic Pauillac from a historic Fifth Growth estate that has become a benchmark for biodynamic, terroir-driven Bordeaux. On the nose you’ll find tobacco, cassis, earthy loam and spicy black cherry, with cedar and leather notes emerging with air. The palate is medium-bodied, softly textured and elegantly structured — polished tannins frame concentrated dark fruit, while a distinct gravelly minerality and a slightly herbaceous edge appear toward the finish. Producer & vineyard notes: Chateau Pontet-Canet (5ème Grand Cru Classé) is owned by the Tesseron family and farmed organically and biodynamically across 81 hectares of Quaternary gravel soils (Ecocert, Biodyvin, Demeter). The estate emphasizes vineyard health and terroir expression. Winemaking & ageing: Hand-harvested into small crates, grapes undergo manual sorting and destemming. Fermentation proceeds with indigenous yeasts and a four-week maceration with gentle punch-downs, followed by malolactic in vats. Ageing lasts 16–18 months (50% new French oak, 35% in concrete amphoras, 15% in one-wine barrels), a mix that lends spice, structure and pure fruit concentration. Consultant Michel Rolland has contributed stylistic input in recent decades. Service note: Decant for around 45 minutes to lift tertiary aromas and gently separate any sediment. Drink now to within the drinking window; in this vintage the wine shows mature complexity but benefits from gentle airing. Ideal with roasted or grilled red meats and aged cheese.
