2022 Domaine Clotilde Davenne Chablis Vieilles Vignes

夏布利的海風與礦質感，喝得出老藤的緊實與清爽。

【為什麼選它？】
1) 老藤來源 -> 果實集中但不厚重，給你直率的風味。
2) 夏布利經典風土 -> 礦物感、鹹味令海鮮配搭更出色。
3) 釀酒手法簡潔 -> 不用浮誇橡木，保留清新與結構。

【侍酒師私房筆記】打開杯子先是檸檬皮、青蘋果和一抹火石氣息；入口像被鹽霧輕拍，酸度利落，礦質與細緻的酒泥感在中段撐起身形，尾韻留有粉狀的白土感。整體偏瘦削但不單薄，適合想喝爽利、有層次白酒的朋友。建議冰箱拿出後等20–30分鐘再喝，口感會更開。

【田地與釀造】來自經年老藤，種植於典型 Kimmeridgian 石灰黏土。釀造強調純淨，主以不鏽鋼與酒泥陳年提升口感厚度，不刻意用新橡木，讓風土直接說話。

【場景化配餐指南】想像周末在西營盤小餐館：點一籠蒸海鮮、幾款日式前菜，或是簡單煎三文魚配柚子醬，大家邊吃邊聊，酒既清爽又帶鹹感，大家都會舉杯。

【降維打擊對比】相比市面上動輒高價的大牌白酒，這款在保留夏布利標誌性礦質與緊緻度的同時，價格更親民、風格更直接，是想要地道風味又不想破產的好選擇。

Pure Chablis tension — bright citrus and sea-spray minerality from old-vine fruit.

【Why choose it?】
1) Vieilles Vignes concentration -> more depth without heaviness: feels focused and precise in the glass.
2) Classic Chablis terroir -> vivid saline minerality that lifts seafood pairings.
3) Skilled hands in the cellar -> clean fermentation and lees ageing for texture, no unnecessary oak so freshness stays.

【Sommelier's notes】On the nose: lemon peel, green apple and a flinty seam. On the palate: immediate citrus drive, razor acidity and a stony, saline mid-palate that carries to a persistent, chalky finish. Texturally it’s lean but rounded by subtle lees complexity — excellent for those who want energy over richness. Best served well-chilled; give it 20–30 minutes out of the fridge to open.

【Winemaking & Vineyard】Sourced from old vines (Vieilles Vignes) on classic Kimmeridgian soils. Fermented with attention to purity, matured on fine lees to add mid-palate weight while preserving vivid acidity and mineral clarity. Low intervention, terroir-forward approach.

【Occasions & Pairing】Perfect with Hong Kong seafood nights — think steamed shellfish, yuzu-dressed sashimi or simple lobster with butter. Also a smart choice for light, elegant dinner parties where guests prefer freshness over oak.

【Competitive Edge】Delivers Chablis classicism and old-vine concentration at a fraction of the price of top-tier cuvées — taut minerality and food-friendly acidity that beats many more expensive, heavier whites.
