2021 Au Pied du Mont Chauve Puligny Montrachet 1er Cru Les Demoiselles

Les Demoiselles 一級園，礦感清晰、奶油感不溫吞，一瓶讓海鮮與芝士都變得更精彩。

為什麼選它？
1) 地塊優勢 -> Les Demoiselles 石灰岩地質帶來緊緻礦感，喝起來有層次，不會單薄。
2) 桶陳手法 -> 少量新橡木點綴堅果與烤香，讓酸度更優雅，入口舒服不刺鼻。
3) 價格與身份 -> Domaines Famille Picard 的一級園表現，性價比高，適合想要品質又不追牌子的你。

侍酒師私房筆記：
顏色偏淺金，先是檸檬皮和青蘋果的清脆，接著白桃和一絲奶油感出來，尾段有烤榛子的溫度和礦物微鹹。口感順但不軟，酸度把整體撐起來，細緻而有焦點。醒半小時，溫度偏攝氏10–12度最剛好。

釀造與葡萄園：
手工採收，嚴格篩選果實。來自石灰岩為主的一級園土壤，採用傳統發酵與部分橡木桶陳（控制新桶比例），旨在保留果實純淨與產地特質。產量偏低，重視田間管理和成熟度掌握。

場景化配餐指南：
在香港的小型家庭聚餐上，配一份煎銀鱈或豌豆泥搭培根；或與一盤Comté、煙鴨胸作晚餐前的先導杯。也適合當作公司送禮或慶祝宴的入門佳釀。

降維打擊對比：
比起同級的大牌 Burgundy，這款更善於把一級園的礦感和桶陳平衡呈現，價格更友善，買得到的「場面感」和收藏感。

Soul Hook: A Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru that pairs chalky minerality with creamy precision—instantly reassuring yet intriguingly complex.

Why choose it?
1) Premier Cru terroir -> Direct mineral clarity and tension that elevate simple seafood to a dining moment.
2) Balanced oak élevage -> Toast and hazelnut notes add warmth without masking freshness.
3) Provenance & value -> Domaines Famille Picard sourcing from Les Demoiselles gives village finesse at a fraction of big-name Burgundy prices.

Tasting & Producer Notes:
Pale gold in glass. Lemon peel, green apple and white peach open first, then gentle toasted oak and hazelnut from measured barrel ageing. A saline, flinty thread runs through the mid-palate; finish is focused and persistent.

Winemaking & Vineyard Notes:
Hand-harvested fruit from Les Demoiselles premier cru plots on limestone-rich soil. Traditional Burgundian fermentations with partial barrel élevage (small percentage new oak) to lend texture while preserving primary fruit and minerality. Low yields and careful sorting ensure purity.

Sommelier's Private Note:
Crisp entry, then a creamy mid-palate that keeps a bright acid spine—good structure without heaviness. Best with simply prepared shellfish or a restrained cheese plate; serve slightly chilled and let it open for half an hour.

Occasion & Pairing:
Ideal for a refined home dinner, an intimate anniversary meal, or as a premium gift for a collector who appreciates terroir-driven white Burgundy.

Competitive Edge:
Compared with headline Burgundy labels, this bottling delivers genuine premier-cru character—minerality, precision and aged complexity—at a much more approachable price point.
