2022 Christophe Pacalet Chenas

Chénas 的輕盈魅力：花香與紅果同時上場，一打開就討人喜歡。

【為什麼選它？】
1) 產區力道 -> 來自 Chénas，比一般市區貨多了一份結構與深度，跟家常菜也能搭得住。
2) 手工釀造 -> 低干預、溫和浸皮，保留了鮮活果味和細緻花香，喝起來自然不做作。
3) 高性價比 -> 能買到近似頂級表現的風格，但價錢更親切，適合想升級卻不想破產的你。

【侍酒師私房筆記】打開杯子先是櫻桃與紅莓，接著有紫羅蘭和一點香料感，酸度清爽、單寧細緻如絲，口中有礦質的收束感。冷藏一下或醒上45分鐘，果香會更鮮明，餘韻帶點風乾紅果與微微土壤感，適合邊聊邊喝的晚餐。

【場景化配餐指南】週末烤雞、朋友小聚的披薩、越南風味烤豬或是有煙燻感的三文治，都能把它抓出最好的一面。想要宴客也不用太正式，放在桌上大家就愛。

【降維打擊對比】比起大牌同價位的量產酒，這款更像小酒莊的用心作物：更有地域性、果味更純粹、喝起來不像工廠貨，性價比直接壓倒一票對手。

A perfumed Chénas that feels like a lively evening in town—fresh, elegant and immediately rewarding.

【Why choose it?】
1) Cru expression -> More structure and depth than generic Beaujolais, so it stands up to richer dishes.
2) Artisan winemaking -> Gentle extraction and native yeasts preserve bright fruit and floral lift for instant appeal.
3) Great value -> Cru-class character at a friendly price—impressive complexity without the headline markup.

【Sommelier's notes】Bright red-fruit core—cherry and raspberry—lifted by violet florals and a hint of pepper. The palate is sleek: taut acidity, fine-grained tannins and a stony undercurrent that keeps it focused. Serve slightly chilled after a 30–60 minute decant to reveal layered aromas and a lingering, savory finish.

【Occasion / Pairing】Perfect for weekend roast chicken, relaxed dinner parties or a casual pizza night—works equally well with char-grilled pork or gamey starters.

【Competitive edge】More personality than everyday regional bottles: Chénas’ blend of perfume and structure gives you complexity and drinkability together—ideal for buyers who want a step up without paying a cult premium.
