2019 Chateau Saint Pierre (375 ml)

品飲筆記：深寶石紅色，帶紫色邊緣。香氣以黑莓、黑櫻桃與成熟李子為主軸，伴隨紫羅蘭花香、煙草與雪茄皮般的香氣，尾段可感受到可可與香草的烘桶香。口感豐滿且圓潤，入口有奶油般的質地與細緻的單寧，層次分明，餘韻悠長且帶香料感。

酒莊背景：聖皮爾古堡歷史悠久，源自17世紀，經過數次分產後於1980年代由Henri Martin重整，現由Martin家族經營，作為聖朱利安的重要四級名莊，其風格兼具優雅與力量。

葡萄園與土壤：葡萄園坐落在典型的Gunzian礫石地帶，底層為粘砂質土壤，排水良好，白天蓄熱、夜間散熱，使果實成熟而保有結構與礦物感。

釀造方式：採人工採收，於不鏽鋼控溫槽進行傳統發酵，之後在橡木桶中熟成約18個月。釀造節奏著重於保留果味的純淨同時用木桶帶出香氣與柔和單寧。

飲用建議：酒體飽滿、結構扎實，年輕飲用時建議醒酒約60–90分鐘，最佳陳年期廣泛，可長期保存。配菜以牛排、烤牛或野味及風味濃郁的成熟乳酪最合拍。喝起來既有力量也有紳士般的細緻口感。

Tasting note: Deep ruby with purple hues. Aromas of ripe blackberries and plums mingle with floral violet notes, tobacco leaf, cedar and a sweep of cocoa and vanilla from careful oak ageing. On the palate it is full-bodied and plush — creamy, with well-integrated, fine-grained tannins and a long, spicy finish.

Producer notes: Chateau Saint-Pierre is a historic Fourth Growth reconstituted in the 1980s by Henri Martin and today run by the Martin family; it is widely regarded as a classic Saint-Julien example, combining refinement with power.

Vineyard notes: Grapes come from vineyards planted on Gunzian gravel over a clayey-sandy subsoil in Saint-Julien, a terroir that brings structure and minerality while allowing ripe, concentrated fruit.

Winemaking notes: Hand-harvested, vinified in traditional stainless-steel temperature-controlled tanks, then matured for around 18 months in oak. Fermentation and élevage aim for balance: ripe fruit supported by subtle oak and polished texture.

Drinkability & service: Dry, structured and ageworthy — decant for 60–90 minutes if serving young. Drinking window approx. 2021–2050. Serve at 16–18°C.

Food pairing: Works beautifully with classic red-meat dishes — steak frites, roast beef or game — and mature, savory cheeses.
