Tasting note

品飲筆記：2022年雙跳（Château Clerc-Milon）展現出典型波亞克的濃縮與優雅。杯中散發黑莓、藍莓與一抹紫羅蘭花香，隨後有辛香料與胡椒的細緻刺激，礦物與甘草的冷調平衡整體。口感上果實飽滿但不笨重，酸度明亮、單寧細緻且有彈性，尾段有可可與雪茄皮般的陳香，餘韻持久。 酒莊與田地：雙跳為列級酒莊（5級），坐落於波亞克產區，園內為砾石與黏土灰岩土壤，根系深入，能在2022年這樣偏熱乾旱的年景中穩定供水與成熟度，結果是體現出集中度與風土感的果實。 釀造與陳年：9月初至9月下旬採收，酒液經典發酵與細緻萃取，之後於法國橡木桶陳放約18個月（木桶帶來香草、雪松與可可的低調調性），木質與果味融合良好，呈現平衡而有層次的成品。 口感建議：酒體中等偏重，入口有飽滿果味與滑順單寧，建議醒酒一小時左右，搭配烤紅肉、羔羊或成熟乳酪最對味。整體氣質含蓄內斂，適合收藏也能在幾年內享用。

Tasting Note: The 2022 vintage of Château Clerc-Milon shows a generously concentrated Pauillac profile — ripe dark berries and bilberry lead, joined by violet and a layer of spicy pepper. A mineral graphite thread and subtle liquorice give additional lift. On the palate it is concentrated yet precise, with silky, well-integrated tannins, lively acidity and a lingering finish marked by black fruit and cocoa powder. Producer & Vintage Notes: Produced by Château Clerc-Milon (a 5ème Grand Cru Classé of Pauillac), the 2022 harvest benefited from abundant sunshine and warm, relatively dry conditions; picking ran from early to late September with healthy, concentrated fruit. The wine embodies the intensity of the vintage while retaining the estate’s classic freshness and poise. Winemaking & Ageing: Grapes were hand-harvested and vinified with careful extraction to preserve elegance. The wine matured for about 18 months in French oak (oaked maturation) allowing the oak to integrate and lend subtle cedary, cocoa and toasty nuances without overwhelming the fruit. Vineyard Notes: Soils are gravel with clay-limestone depths; deep-rooted vines were able to regulate water in a warm season, producing smaller, concentrated berries that translate into focused texture and mineral detail. Cellaring & Enjoyment: A structured young Pauillac with long ageing potential (drinking window c. 2030–2065). For earlier drinking, decant 1–2 hours to open the bouquet. Pairs beautifully with grilled or roasted red meats and aged cheeses.
