Tasting note

品飲筆記：酒色深沉，入口先是飽滿的黑果緊接著地中海香草（garrigue）與黑胡椒的香氣，還帶一抹溫潤的皮革與礦物感。口感厚實、果味豐滿但不膩，單寧扎實有抓感，酸度為酒款帶來清爽輪廓，收尾帶香料與溫暖的餘韻。 酒莊與生產：這支酒由 Domaine Anne Gros 與 Jean‑Paul Tollot 合作推出，團隊在田間與釀造上都很注重細節：從果實的選取到分級投入發酵槽，目標是讓朗格多克陽光下的濃郁果實保有線條與優雅。 釀造手法：在發酵期控制萃取與溫度以保留新鮮度與香氣，成熟階段使用多種容器（如中性槽與法國橡木桶）來整合單寧與香料，讓酒體圓潤但不掩蓋果味主調。 葡萄園環境：來自 Minervois 的小地塊，地中海型氣候日照充足，土壤多為石質與排水良好的結構，周邊有 garrigue 矮灌木環繞，賦予酒款典型的香草與香料調性。產量受控、棚架管理細緻，確保果實成熟而保有平衡酸度。 建議醒酒 45 分鐘，搭配燒烤、燉羊肉或帶香料的豬肉料理都非常合適，與成熟奶酪也能擦出好火花。

Tasting Note: Deep ruby in the glass with an expressive nose of ripe black cherry and blackcurrant, layered with garrigue herbs, cracked black pepper and a hint of leather. The palate is rich and concentrated: generous dark fruit wrapped in savory herbal tones, firm but ripe tannins and lively acidity that keep the wine focused. The finish is long, spicy and warming. Producer Notes: A collaboration bearing the names of Anne Gros & Jean‑Paul Tollot, this Minervois bottling aims to combine close attention to detail with the robust character of Languedoc terroir. Small-lot selection and careful blending result in a wine built for both early enjoyment and medium-term cellaring. Winemaking Notes: Fermentation was handled with attention to extraction and temperature control to preserve varietal intensity and freshness. The wine was matured to integrate structure and spice — a combination of neutral vessels and time in oak (used and/or French barrels) helps round tannins without overwhelming fruit. Vineyard Notes: Sourced from Minervois parcels influenced by Mediterranean sun and garrigue shrubs, the vineyards sit on stony, well-draining soils that encourage concentrated fruit and savory, mineral-driven aromas. Low to moderate yields and attentive canopy work promote ripeness with balanced acidity. Serve: Decant for about 45 minutes before serving. Best enjoyed with grilled or roasted red meats, herb-accented stews and mature cheeses.
