Tasting note

2017 紫杉莊園來自波爾多聖艾美濃的著名產區，由Jacques Thienpont精心釀製，展現了Thienpont家族豐富的歷史和專業知識。葡萄園位於Troplong Mondot和Château Valandraud附近，享有獨特的黏土和石灰岩土壤。經過12到16個月的橡木桶陳釀，其中50%為新橡木桶，這款酒散發出黑莓、李子和香料的複雜香氣，並伴有橡木和煙草的氣息。口感豐滿，單寧堅實，餘味悠長優雅。非常適合搭配烤羊肉、燉牛肉、成熟的奶酪和烤鴨。

2017 L'If is a remarkable wine from the prestigious Saint-Emilion appellation in Bordeaux. Crafted by Jacques Thienpont, this wine is a testament to the rich history and expertise of the Thienpont family. The vineyard, located near Troplong Mondot and Château Valandraud, benefits from a unique terroir of clay and limestone-clay soils. Aged for 12 to 16 months in barrels, with 50% new oak, this wine offers a complex bouquet of blackberry, plum, and spice, complemented by notes of oak and tobacco. On the palate, it is full-bodied with firm tannins and a long, elegant finish. Perfectly paired with grilled lamb, beef stew, mature cheeses, and roasted duck.

Winery

Jacques Thienpont最近在聖艾美濃購買了六公頃的葡萄園，靠近Troplong Mondot和Château Valandraud的著名葡萄園，這些葡萄園由Jean-Luc Thunevin擁有。這是對他家族歷史的正當回歸，Thienpont家族最早於1842年在佛蘭德斯的Etikhove（根特附近）開始經營葡萄酒商，並於1921年購買了聖艾美濃的Château Troplong Mondot。然而，Georges Thienpont在十年後的危機高峰期被迫再次出售，隨後購買了Pomerol的Vieux Château Certan，現在由他的侄子Alexandre經營。

Jacques Thienpont recently acquired six hectares of vines in Saint-Emilion, near the prestigious vineyards of Troplong Mondot and Château Valandraud, owned by Jean-Luc Thunevin. This is a rightful return to his family history, as the Thienponts – originally wine merchants in Etikhove (near Ghent in Flanders) from 1842 onwards – bought Château Troplong Mondot in Saint-Emilion in 1921. However, Georges Thienpont was forced to sell it again ten years later at the height of the crisis, and subsequently bought Vieux Château Certan in Pomerol which is now run by his nephew Alexandre.
