Tasting note
品飲筆記:酒體清爽而有層次,先是明亮的檸檬、萊姆和白桃香,接著有青醬果與細緻花香,口中帶有柔和的乳霜感與香草氣息,尾段呈現礦物與微鹹的石感,酸度活潑,十分開胃。 酒莊與田園:靚次伯(Chateau Lynch‑Bages)由Famille JM Cazes 管理,是梅多克中具代表性的名莊。葡萄園坐落於加倫河礫石地塊,土壤為礫石砂層,排水良好,有助於果實成熟時保留清晰的礦物感。 釀造重點:採用手工採收及嚴格篩選,約75%以小型可控溫法國橡木桶發酵,其餘在不鏽鋼槽保持新鮮度;酒泥定期攪拌(batonnage),於桶中陳年約六個月後裝瓶,造就中段的柔滑口感與結構感。 飲用建議:建議微冷飲用並開瓶醒20–30分鐘,既能保留清新果香,又能讓礦物及木桶的細膩香氣緩緩展現。
Tasting Note: Bright and energetic, this white shows lively citrus (lemon, lime) and white peach at the forefront, with fresh gooseberry and delicate elderflower florals. A hint of vanilla and soft creaminess from lees stirring pairs with a saline, stony mineral finish. Producer Notes: Blanc de Lynch-Bages has been a signature white from the estate since 1990, one of the region’s early Grand Cru Classé whites. Owned by Famille JM Cazes, the estate focuses on terroir expression and balanced winemaking. Winemaking Notes: Approximately 75% of the juice is fermented in individually temperature-controlled French oak barrels, preserving fresh aromatics while adding subtle oak spice. The wine is regularly stirred on its lees and aged for six months before bottling, delivering a silky mid-palate and integrated richness. Vineyard Notes: Vines are planted on Garonne gravel soils that impart a stony, mineral backbone. Hand-harvested and sorted, the 2021 vintage benefited from mixed weather—cooler conditions with late summer sun—yielding a bright, terroir-driven wine. Serve slightly chilled and allow a short decant (20–30 minutes) to let aromatics open. Drink now through the next decade for primary fruit and evolving mineral detail.
