2020 Domaine Anne Gros & Jean Paul Tollot Les Fontanilles

品飲筆記：這款來自明尼沃（Minervois）的紅酒以濃郁黑果為主調，前段有黑櫻桃、李子與黑莓的熟果香，接著浮現地中海野草（garrigue）、黑胡椒和些許煙燻香氣。入口飽滿，果味豐富且溫暖，酸度帶動節奏，丹寧有份量但不生澀，單寧結構讓酒體穩定，收結以帶香草與礦質感的餘韻收尾。

生產與釀造：由 Anne Gros 與 Jean‑Paul Tollot 合作出品，選取多塊當地風土明顯的地塊混釀。釀造上講求保留果香與場域特色，採較溫和的浸皮與發酵手法，熟成以舊橡木與中性容器為主，旨在增添質感而不掩蓋原始果味。

葡萄園與風土：明尼沃地區夏季陽光充足、晝夜溫差有利於保留酸度，葡萄園多為排水良好的石質土壤，有助於產生濃縮但不過度肥厚的果實。酒莊偏向低干預的栽培管理，希望把田地的風韻帶入酒中。

建議醒酒約45分鐘，溫度控制在16–18°C最能呈現層次。搭配羊肉、燉牛、燒烤豬肉或成熟起司都很合適。

Tasting Note: Rich, southern French character—perfumed black cherry and plum up front, layered with blackberry, touches of garrigue and cracked black pepper. On the palate the wine shows concentrated dark fruit, warm baking spice and a savory, slightly earthy streak. Tannins are present and structured but ripe, giving firm backbone without harshness; the finish is long and gently smoky.

Producer Notes: A collaboration between Anne Gros and Jean‑Paul Tollot, this bottling channels Minervois sun and Mediterranean scrub into a focused, crowd‑pleasing style. The fruit is sourced from several local parcels chosen for stony soils and good exposure.

Winemaking Notes: Fermented with attention to preserving primary fruit, the wine typically sees ambient-yeast or selected-yeast fermentation, gentle extraction to avoid harshness, and maturation in seasoned oak and neutral vessels to add texture while keeping fruit forward intensity. The result is an approachable yet layered red that balances ripeness and savory detail.

Vineyard Notes: Parcels in the Minervois benefit from warm, dry summers and cool nights that maintain freshness. Soils are varied—often stony and well‑draining—helping concentration and structure. Viticulture tends toward low-intervention practices to reflect site character.

Serving: Best served slightly cool for a full‑bodied red (16–18°C). Decant for about 45 minutes to open aromas and soften edges. Drink now through the early 2030s.
