2002 Chateau de Fargues (375 ml)

法歌甜白2002為典型的Sauternes風格：金琥珀色，香氣像層疊的蜜糖與蜜餞橙皮，還有檸檬皮帶來的清爽提點。入口即是濃郁而圓潤的甜感，卻被活潑的酸度平衡，口感絲滑像油脂般包裹味蕾，尾韻帶有榛果、蜂蠟與烤橡木的溫暖香氣。

酒莊與田地方面，這個擁有百年背景的酒莊只出一款主力酒，種植在以黏土混礫石為主的坡地上，微氣候非常適合「貴腐」發展。採收極為謹慎，進行多次手工揀選，挑出經過貴腐集中風味的果粒。

釀造上採用桶中發酵，並在法國橡木桶中熟成約30個月，讓果香與木質感融合但不互相蓋過。建議短暫醒半小時後冰涼飲用，搭配鵝肝、藍紋乳酪或是焦糖布丁、奶油類甜點都非常合拍。

2002 Château de Fargues is a classic Sauternes showcasing the magic of noble rot. The colour is a deep golden‑amber; the nose opens with layers of honey, candied orange peel, dried apricot and delicate floral aromas, edged with toasted hazelnut and beeswax. On the palate it is richly sweet yet lifted by bright lemon‑zest acidity, offering a silky, oil‑like texture and complex secondary notes of caramel, vanilla and subtle minerality from careful oak ageing.

Producer and vineyard: One of the great single‑wine estates of Sauternes, the property remains in the historic family and produces only its grand vin from roughly 21 hectares of clay‑and‑gravel soils. The microclimate here favours the development of Botrytis cinerea; hand selection is meticulous with several passes through the vines to pick botrytised berries at optimal concentration. Total production for this vintage was small, reinforcing its focused profile.

Winemaking and ageing: Fermented in barrels and followed by about 30 months in French oak, the wine shows integrated oak spice without masking its botrytised fruit. The 2002 vintage experienced a cool, uneven season with noble rot developing in September and harvest spanning multiple passes into November, producing concentrated, layered sweetness.

Service: Gently decant for 30 minutes to let scents open, serve well‑chilled. Excellent with rich foie gras, blue cheese or elegant desserts such as crème brûlée and poached fruit.
