Tasting note
品飲筆記:這支酒先以熱帶果與白桃、柑橘皮和花香迎人,接著展現出蜂蜜與蜜蠟般的層次。入口厚實飽滿但不沉,細緻的乳霜感與鹹礦石感交織,酸度支撐著酒體,使整體保持清新又有張力,餘韻帶著溫和香料與蜜甜。
酒莊與田地:來自教皇新堡名莊 Le Vieux Donjon,Marie José 與 Lucien Michel 維持傳統與精緻並重的風格。葡萄來自典型的碎石與石灰質地塊,老藤與嚴控產量帶來濃度與純淨香氣。
釀造小敘:在釀造上以保留果香與質地為主,透過延長與酵母接觸、以及不顯眼的木桶處理,讓酒體更加豐厚、口感柔順但不失活力。喝法建議:醒半小時左右,與海鮮或帶汁燒烤都很合拍。這瓶酒口感舒服,很適合想要豐滿又有層次白酒的時候享用。
Tasting note: A generous Châteauneuf white that opens with ripe tropical and stone fruit aromas, citrus peel and floral honeyed notes. The palate is broad and silky, showing creamy lees-driven texture, a saline mineral thread and balanced acidity that keeps the richness lively. The finish is lingering with gentle spice and a honeyed persistence.
Producer notes: From the respected Le Vieux Donjon estate, owned by Marie José and Lucien Michel, this bottling reflects traditional southern Rhône style—concentrated yet balanced, with careful attention to vineyard selection and ripeness.
Winemaking notes: Fruit is handled to preserve primary aromatics and freshness; fermentations and ageing are managed to build texture and complexity while leaving vibrant fruit intact. Expect lees contact and subtle oak influence to add weight and a soft, layered mouthfeel.
Vineyard notes: Grapes come from classic Châteauneuf terroirs — sun-warmed soils with pebbles and limestone influence, low yields and mature vines that bring concentration and aromatic purity. Best enjoyed now through the near term drinking window.
