Champagne Delavenne L'Ile Champagne Grand Cru Demi Sec

品飲筆記：這款來自Bouzy特級園的半甜香檳，入口先是成熟果香與蜜糖氣息，接著有烘焙過的麵包與杏仁香。泡沫細緻，口感圓潤且帶奶油般的質地，甜度柔和但被清爽的酸度撐起來，收結乾淨且帶礦感。

酒莊與田地：Delavenne Père & Fils 是家族經營的香檳酒莊，長期深耕Bouzy的特級園，重視低產量與手工管理，田間多為朝南坡面與白垩土壤，日夜溫差幫助累積風味與酸度。

釀造小記：採傳統法釀製，瓶陳延長時間並運用舊酒款混配與較高劑量（demi‑sec）來塑造豐富感。這樣的做法帶出烘焙、酵母香與奶油泡沫的層次，同時保有清爽節奏。

飲用建議：冷藏後飲用即可，開瓶靜置約15分鐘泡沫穩定更能展現香氣。非常適合配甜點、奶油蛋糕或帶香料的菜餚，慶祝時分享感覺很討喜。

Tasting note: L'Ile Bouzy Grand Cru Demi Sec opens with fragrant waves of ripe orchard fruits and candied citrus, layered with honeyed brioche, toasted almond and delicate floral lift. The mousse is fine and creamy; sweetness is clearly present but framed by crisp, mineral-driven acidity, giving the wine a lively, balanced profile and a lingering, gently rounded finish.

Producer notes: Delavenne Père & Fils is a family grower-producer based in Bouzy. Working in the Grand Cru vineyards, the house focuses on expressing site character through careful viticulture and modest yields, producing wines with concentration and clarity.

Winemaking notes: Made by the traditional method with extended lees ageing, reserve wines and a deliberate demi-sec dosage to achieve a richer, rounder palate. Fermentation and élevage emphasize autolytic complexity—brioche and pastry notes—while retaining the region's fresh acidity.

Vineyard notes: Grapes come from Bouzy’s prized Grand Cru parcels on south-facing slopes with classic chalky soils. Cool nights and sun-warmed days help build ripe fruit flavours without sacrificing tension, giving the wine both plushness and minerality.

Serving: Serve well chilled. Briefly rest after opening (about 15 minutes) to let the mousse settle; best enjoyed with fruity desserts, creamy cakes or spicy-sweet savoury dishes.
