2016 Chateau de la Maltroye Meurault 1er cru 'Genevieres' Hospices Beaune

2016 年的默索「Genevrières」一級園由麥托爾代為釀製，入口立刻感受到奶油般的豐厚與滑順，柑橘皮、白花和熟杏果為前調，細緻烘烤的杏仁與香草來自橡木陳年。酒體飽滿但礦質感清晰，酸度支撐讓整體不顯沉重。釀造上以部分乳酸發酵、在橡木桶上與泥渣接觸陳年並適度攪桶，追求層次與耐喝度。建議醒瓶約45分鐘，配烤雞、奶油海鮮或蘑菇燉飯都很合適，口感細緻又耐人回味。

A finely tuned Premier Cru from Meursault’s Genevrières, this 2016 bottling opens with lemon zest, white florals and a drizzle of honey over ripe stone fruit. On the palate it is generously textured — creamy mid-palate, toasted almond and subtle vanilla from careful oak élevage, and a distinct mineral thread that keeps the richness in balance. Produced as a Hospices de Beaune allocation and vinified by de la Maltroye, the wine shows polished oak integration, gentle lees stirring and partial malolactic to build roundness without losing freshness. Ideal to decant about 45 minutes to let aromas bloom; pairs beautifully with shellfish in butter, roasted poultry and rich risottos.

Winery

麥托爾（de la Maltroye）在默索有口碑，以展現單一園風土為核心。酒莊重視田間管理與低產量採收，釀造時採取部分乳酸發酵與橡木桶陳年，常在桶中做與泥渣的接觸以增加細膩度。對於療養院（Hospices）批次，他們的做法是保留田地特色，同時用精緻的桶陳與攪桶提升層次感。

De la Maltroye is a well-regarded Meursault house known for bringing out the site expression of top Premier Crus. Working largely with family-owned parcels and careful barrel élevage, their approach balances ripe, rounded texture with a clear mineral backbone. For Hospices de Beaune allocations they strive to preserve the vineyard’s identity while adding refinement through thoughtful oak use and lees management.
