Tasting note

酒液呈明亮的黃金色，前香是濃郁的香橙果醬、糖漬柑橘皮與杏桃蜜餞，隨之而來有薑的暖香、花香與蜂蜜氣息。口感豐滿綿密，酒體飽滿但不膩，鮮明的酸度與一抹海鹽感讓甜度保持清爽平衡，結尾帶有一點果皮的微澀與悠長回味。2018 年是個偏冷、收成期拉長的年份，酒莊以 21 個小地塊分批手採（凌晨涼爽時入廠），從帶酸的清爽果到糖分濃縮的蜜餞一同入釀，部分最精華的果實被用作濃縮核心。酒液在裝瓶前於 50% 新法國橡木、小量相思木桶與大型橡木桶中陳年三年，期間細緻調配以求酒精、酸與糖的理想平衡。整體風格既華麗又精緻，既能當作即飲的款待，也能陳放數十年。

Bright yellow-gold in the glass, this Vin de Constance opens with layered aromas of Seville orange marmalade, candied citrus peel, dried apricot and ripe stone-fruit, threaded with ginger spice, floral lift and a honeyed note. The palate is rich and luxurious yet finely balanced: concentrated and full-bodied, with a silky, creamy mouthfeel supported by vibrant acidity and a subtle saline lift. Crafted from 21 individual parcels harvested over a long, cool season (early February to mid-April), the 2018 was assembled after detailed blending and matured for three years in 50% new French oak, a touch of acacia and large-format foudres. Hand-picked grapes were sorted meticulously at the cellar—each lug box tracked to the picker—to ensure only the best fruit is used. The blend includes very ripe berries and raisined lots used for the wine’s most concentrated component, producing a luscious yet precise sweet wine with spice and pithy astringency on the finish. Long-lived and age-worthy, show it with fruit-based desserts, blue cheese or foie gras.
