Tasting note

這支 2021 年款來自卓龍，口感豐滿而有層次：黑櫻桃與深色莓果為主軸，伴隨濃郁巧克力、烘烤香氣及一絲松露、濃縮咖啡的餘韻。酒體集中但不笨重，單寧結實而偏順滑，礦物感與微鹹的鐵質風味讓整體更有結構。酒莊位於由黏土與礫石混合而成的斜坡地，下面藏有難滲透的「crasse de fer」，地質賦予酒款深度與力量。採用人工採收並雙重篩選，在小型混凝土槽發酵、約18個月橡木桶陳年。建議醒酒約90分鐘，搭配牛羊或重口味燒烤、燉煮菜式最合拍，既適合現飲也非常適合陳年收藏。

Deep, concentrated and classically Pomerol, the 2021 from Château Trotanoy shows a dense, powerful bouquet of black and dark red fruits layered with dark chocolate, toasted oak and subtle truffle and espresso notes. The palate is richly concentrated yet finely tuned: ripe, silky-firm tannins give shape to a wine of notable structure and saline iron-mineral backbone. Produced from old vines on the estate’s distinctive clay-gravel soils (with the impermeable crasse de fer beneath), the fruit was hand-harvested with double sorting, fermented in small concrete vats and matured for approximately 18 months in oak. Expect serious aging potential and reward from cellaring; if drinking earlier, decant for about 90 minutes to open the aromatic complexity. Ideal with robust red meats, game and dishes with savory, umami-rich sauces.

Winery

卓龍酒莊（Château Trotanoy）自1953年由 Jean-Pierre Moueix 入主後，更確立了其波爾多波梅羅區的頂級地位。葡萄園土壤為黏土與礫石的緊密混合，乾燥時常呈現近乎硬化的狀態（因此得名），這種獨特田地造就了風格濃縮、有力量且耐陳年的酒款。

Château Trotanoy, purchased by Jean-Pierre Moueix in 1953, is one of Pomerol’s most storied estates. The vineyard is famed for a dense clay-gravel mix that can harden to a concrete-like crust; this difficult terroir (hence the name Trotanoy) yields wines of power, concentration and long-term ageing potential.
