2018 Domaine Philippe Cheron Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru

酒液呈中等偏深的石榴紅，打開杯蓋便有濃郁的紅黑果香，夾帶森林地衣、蘑菇與泥土的野趣。橡木帶來細緻的香草與烘焙香，入口果實飽滿但不厚重，酸度明亮、單寧細緻而有支撐，口感滑順，尾韻帶礦物感與香料回甘，既能早飲也耐陳。

酒莊與田間：菲臘雪佛龍位於科特・德・紐伊，注重小產量與分園管理，採傳統但精緻的釀造法。葡萄園位於古老的圍牆內，石灰為主的土壤混有黏土，根系紮實帶來穩定的酸礦結構。

釀造工藝：人工採收、分小批發酵以保留香氣，溫控發酵與溫和浸渍確保單寧圓潤，於法國橡木桶陳年（含一定比例新桶）提升層次，過桶與裝瓶前僅做必要處理，保留原始風味與細緻口感。

Bright garnet in the glass, this Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru opens with an aromatic mix of ripe black and red fruits, woodland herbs and a sous-bois note of mushrooms and leaf litter. Toasted cedar and gentle sweet spice emerge from subtle oak, while the palate shows concentrated fruit framed by lively acidity and fine-grained, polished tannins. Medium-plus in body with layered mineral and savory notes toward a long, elegant finish, it balances immediate charm with clear ageing potential.

Producer notes: Philippe Cheron works within the Côte de Nuits tradition, aiming to let the vineyard’s character shine. Small-lot attention in both vine and cellar yields wines that are site-specific and ageworthy.

Winemaking notes: Hand-harvested fruit is treated with gentle extraction to preserve finesse; fermentations are carried out in small vessels with careful temperature control. The wine undergoes élevage in French oak barrels (including a proportion of new oak) for around a year to 18 months, followed by light racking and minimal filtration to retain aromatic complexity.

Vineyard notes: Sourced from parcels inside the historic walled Clos de Vougeot, soils are limestone with clay pockets that provide structure and minerality. Low yields and old vines contribute concentration; the walled clos moderates exposure and fosters a distinct, layered terroir expression.
