Tasting note
品飲筆記:酒色深寶石紅,前段有成熟李子與黑櫻桃的豐富果香,隨之帶出皮革、煙草與地中海香草的鹹香調性。入口圓潤、多汁,質地細緻而絲滑,酸度帶出清新感,單寧柔順但有架構,尾段呈現礦質與微鹹的延伸餘韻。酒莊介紹:由 Jean‑Pierre Moueix 系統管理,Christian Moueix 擁有,注重園內管理與分級釀造,致力於展現波美侯經典風格。葡萄園與土壤:葡萄園約 8 公頃,典型的礫石與細黏土混合土壤,排水良好,有利於果實集中與礦感發展。釀造方式:於九月上中旬分批採收,細緻篩選後以溫和方式發酵,之後送入法國橡木桶熟成,木桶的運用為酒體提供結構與香料層次,同時保留果香的鮮明。建議醒酒:約 45 分鐘可以讓香氣與口感更為立體。搭配建議:烤牛排、羊腿、野味或風味濃郁的起司都能提升整體風味。
Tasting note: Deep garnet at the rim, this 2022 Pomerol opens with ripe black cherry and plum preserves layered with savory notes — tobacco, leather and a hint of garrigue. On the palate it is medium-plus in weight: juicy and round up front, supported by fine, integrated tannins and lively acidity that carry through to a mineral, slightly saline finish. Producer notes: Crafted under the Jean‑Pierre Moueix umbrella and owned by Christian Moueix, the estate benefits from careful viticultural management and a reputation for classic Pomerol character. Vineyard notes: The holdings amount to roughly 8 hectares planted on a mix of gravel and fine clay soils, producing wines with both concentration and a mineral thread. Winemaking notes: Hand-harvested in early to mid-September, grapes are sorted and fermented with attention to gentle extraction. The wine is matured in French oak (oaked) to add structure and subtle spice while preserving fruit freshness. Serving: Best decanted for about 45 minutes when young to reveal its layers; will continue to evolve in bottle over the next decade-plus. Pair with grilled or roasted red meats, rich stews and aged cheeses.
