Tasting note

品飲筆記：色澤淺稻草黃帶綠光，香氣有檸檬皮、青蘋果與白桃的清新果感，跟著來的是鳳梨、花蜜與礦物香，並由細緻的橡木香和酒泥攪拌出的奶油感包裹。口感中等偏厚實，酸度俐落而推動整體，酒體有膠質與圓潤感，尾韻帶鹹感與持久的柑橘清晰。 酒莊與田間：黑教皇（Château Pape Clément）在 Bernard Magrez 的經營下，重視分地管理，推行草生栽培、局部以牛馬犁田，並採用整合病蟲害管理，獲得 Terra Vitis 與 HVE3 認證。人工分兩次採收，針對每塊地塊細緻處理，果實成熟均衡且帶出場址風格。 釀造工序：全果穗輕柔壓榨、在惰性氣氛下保護香氣，靠重力入桶進行發酵與熟成。以法國橡木桶發酵與陳年 16 個月，並在酒泥上定期攪拌以提升奶油感與結構；約 15% 在蛋形混凝土罐熟成以保留鮮度與質地。 搭配建議：建議開瓶後稍微醒 45 分鐘，溫度控制在約 10–12°C，特別適合搭配油脂魚、松露燉飯、奶香濃郁的海鮮或成熟乳酪。

Tasting Note: Pale straw with green highlights. The 2021 displays an elegant bouquet of candied lemon, lime zest, green apple and ripe white peach, layered with pineapple and blossom honey. A light flinty/mineral thread and gentle toasted-oak spice frame the aromatics. On the palate it is medium–full, with bright, penetrating acidity, creamy lees texture from bâtonnage and a refined oak backbone. The finish is long, saline and mineral-driven with citrus clarity. Producer Notes: Produced at Château Pape Clément under Bernard Magrez, the estate follows parcel-based viticulture with natural grass cover, oxen- and horse-drawn ploughing in places and integrated pest management; certified Terra Vitis and HVE3. Winemaking Notes: Manual harvest in two passes. Whole-berry pressing under inert atmosphere, gravity transfer to French oak barrels; primary fermentation and 16 months ageing in oak with lees stirring. Approximately 15% of the wine matured in egg-shaped concrete tank to preserve freshness and textural lift. Vineyard Notes: Careful canopy work (debudding, removal of side shoots, green harvesting) and low-intervention parcel management deliver healthy fruit with clear aromatic purity and ripe acidity. The combination of gravelly Pessac-Leognan soils and attentive farming yields a wine that balances richness with minerality. Serving: Give about 45 minutes of aeration if opened young to round the oak edges, serve chilled but not ice-cold (10–12°C).
