2022 Domaine Mia Mercurey Rouge Les Caudroyes

Mercurey 的細膩與土地感，平實價位就能收藏的一瓶經典。

【為什麼選它？】
1) 產區表現 -> Les Caudroyes 的礫質與黏土賦予紅果與礦感，適合想要 Burgundy 風味但不想破產的人；
2) 製酒手法 -> 溫和採收與低干預釀造，保留果味與鮮明酸度，入口有層次；
3) 配餐萬用 -> 跟燒鵝、燒味或帶菌菇的菜最合拍，晚餐不用傷腦筋就能搭配得很好。

【侍酒師私房筆記】斟上一杯，先是櫻桃與覆盆子果香，空氣中慢慢浮出一層森林地表、蘑菇和淡淡香料。單寧細緻、不厚重，酸度讓整體充滿動感。醒個 30–60 分鐘會更顯層次，適合與家常燒味或一盤有醬香的嫩牛肉同桌。

【田地與釀酒】Domaine Mia 在 Mercurey 的小型園塊收成，Les Caudroyes 的土壤偏黏土與礫石，讓果實有集中度。酒莊偏好低干預、適度橡木陳年，目的是讓土地聲音更清楚而不是讓橡木蓋住它。

【場景化配餐指南】週末家庭聚餐：燒鵝與白飯、朋友小聚時的蘑菇燴飯、或米其林小館的燒鴨三吃，都能互相襯托；想要更香港味，配燒味拼盤立即上桌。

【降維打擊對比】相對於同地區大牌或高價酒，這支更貼近日常收藏：保留 Burgundian 的典雅與土地感，價格卻更實在，性價比高，適合想入門或擴展酒單的你。

A poised Mercurey with red-fruit clarity and earthy depth — Burgundian finesse without the headline price.

【Why choose it?】
1) Terroir-driven character -> Classic red-fruit and savory minerality that pairs with a wide range of dishes.
2) Expertly made, accessible vintage -> Shows concentration and balance at an attractive price point (90/100 by Jasper Morris).
3) Versatile food partner -> From roast duck to mushroom dishes, it lifts flavour without overpowering.

【Sommelier's private note】Pour, wait ~45 minutes and watch it open: bright cherry and raspberry first, then a smoky forest-floor thread and a touch of clove. Tannins are fine-grained, acidity keeps it lively — drink now to 6–8 years for best enjoyment.

【Winemaking notes】Gentle whole-bunch selection and moderate extraction preserve freshness; ageing in predominantly neutral oak to showcase site expression rather than oak influence. Low-intervention approach highlights Mercurey minerality and purity.

【Vineyard notes】Sourced from Les Caudroyes parcels in Mercurey — clay-limestone soils that give red-fruit clarity and that characteristic savoury undercurrent. Vines show good balance and moderate yields, emphasising concentration over quantity.

【Occasion】Sunday roast at home, a relaxed dinner with friends, or a Cantonese roast-meat night — pairs particularly well with dishes that have earthy or umami elements.

【Competitive edge】Delivers Burgundy character and a 90-point pedigree at a mid-range price: expressive terroir, careful élevage, and ready drinkability make it a high-value pick against pricier appellation names.

Winery

Domaine Mia 是一家位於 Mercurey 的小型酒莊，酒款不多（約 9 款），重視園中風土與手工處理。葡萄以適度產量、精細分選入桶；在陳年上偏好中性或輕度烘烤的橡木，讓果與土壤味更直接、少人工修飾。

Domaine Mia is a small Mercurey domaine producing a concise range (9 wines) focused on terroir expression. Practice leans toward low-intervention viticulture and careful élevage in neutral to lightly toasted barrels, aiming to highlight site minerality and purity rather than heavy oak treatment.
