2021 Au Pied du Mont Chauve Puligny Montrachet 1er Cru La Garenne

品飲筆記：先是清新花香與檸檬皮氣息，接著透出白桃與烤榛果、奶油酥皮的香調。入口質地圓潤、奶油感明顯但不膩，鮮明的礦感和活潑酸度支撐全酒的結構，橡木只帶來細緻的香草與香料背景。尾韻帶有鹽感與檸檬皮、杏仁的餘味，迴盪悠長。
酒莊與產區：此酒出自皮卡家族（Domaines Famille Picard）旗下的 Au Pied du Mont Chauvet 系列，選自 Puligny‑Montrachet 的 La Garenne 特級園。酒莊以照顧小地塊見長，重視低產與精細管理，以呈現坡地石灰岩土壤的特性。
釀造手法：採手工採收、嚴格篩選，於法國橡木桶中發酵並與部分新桶接觸以建立結構，長時間與細膩的泥渣接觸並輕柔攪桶（bâtonnage），造就絲滑口感與層次，而不掩蓋田地的礦質骨幹。
葡萄園風土：La Garenne 為排水良好的石灰黏土丘地，陽光充足，土壤多礫石，低產與嚴格修剪使果實濃縮且香氣純淨，成酒呈現出典型的礦質感與清晰酸度。
口感小結：入口圓潤帶奶油感，酸度清爽支撐結構，尾韻乾淨帶鹹礦感，適合想要兼具豐滿與優雅口感的場合。

Tasting Note: Bright aromas of lemon blossom, green apple and white peach open to a core of toasted hazelnut, warm brioche and gentle spice. The palate is creamy yet precise — a fine seam of mineral lift and lively acidity keeps the richness in check while integrated oak adds texture, not weight. The finish is long and saline, with citrus peel and almond notes lingering.
Producer Notes: From the La Garenne Premier Cru site, this bottling comes from small, carefully managed parcels overseen by Domaine Famille Picard. Vines on compact limestone and stony clay produce concentrated fruit with classic Puligny tension.
Winemaking Notes: Hand-harvested and sorted, the wine undergoes barrel fermentation and aging in French oak with a portion of new wood for structure. Extended lees contact and gentle bâtonnage build creaminess and depth without obscuring the vineyard’s mineral signature.
Vineyard Notes: La Garenne sits on well-drained, calcareous soils with good exposure, low yields and vigorous canopy management to favor ripeness and aromatic purity. The terroir delivers stony minerality and focused acidity emblematic of Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru.
