破格曙光 / A New Dawn

Alba by Tertre Blanc 2024 是瑪歌列級名莊 Château du Tertre 與波爾多酒商 Ulysse Cazabonne 合作的限量白酒。「Alba」意為曙光；這款酒以 Vin de France 身份突破傳統波爾多白酒的品種框架，展現酒莊對清新、自由與精準風土表現的另一種想像。

Alba by Tertre Blanc 2024 is a limited white-wine collaboration between Château du Tertre, a classified growth in Margaux, and Bordeaux wine merchant Ulysse Cazabonne. Meaning “dawn”, Alba is released as Vin de France, stepping beyond conventional Bordeaux white-wine varieties with a fresh, expressive, and precise point of view.

單一園三重奏 / One Plot, Three Grapes

葡萄來自酒莊核心一幅僅 2.5 公頃的單一園，園中白橡樹 Albus Quercus 正是酒名靈感。2024 年由 46% 霞多麗、38% 長相思與 16% 維歐尼組成：霞多麗帶來圓潤線條，長相思注入柑橘張力，維歐尼添上白桃、蜜梨與白花氣息。首個年份僅推出 2,500 支獨立編號酒款。

The fruit comes from a single 2.5-hectare plot at the heart of the estate, marked by the Albus Quercus white oak that inspired the name. The 2024 blend is 46% Chardonnay, 38% Sauvignon Blanc, and 16% Viognier: Chardonnay gives a rounded frame, Sauvignon Blanc brings citrus energy, and Viognier contributes white peach, pear, and floral lift. The inaugural release is limited to 2,500 individually numbered bottles.

細緻工藝 / Measured Craft

葡萄經手工採收、逐串揀選及整串壓榨；發酵先於不鏽鋼槽展開，中段轉入法國橡木桶。其後連酒泥熟成六個月，一半置於混凝土蛋形槽，一半置於全新法國橡木桶，讓果實純淨度、質感與明亮酸度取得平衡。

Grapes are hand-harvested, manually sorted, and whole-bunch pressed. Fermentation begins in stainless steel before moving mid-way to French oak; the wine then spends six months on lees, split between concrete eggs and new French oak barrels. The result balances fruit clarity, texture, and lively freshness.

清新鹹感 / Bright & Saline

12.5% 酒精濃度令酒體保持輕盈而不失輪廓。香氣可見柑橘皮、白花、熟梨與白桃；入口由長相思的明快酸度帶動，霞多麗提供柔和包覆感，尾段留下細緻礦物與鮮鹹感。建議微冰享用，適合開胃酒、刺身、鮮魚前菜、帶子或山羊芝士。

At 12.5% ABV, the wine stays poised and finely drawn. Citrus zest, white flowers, ripe pear, and white peach lead the aromatics; Sauvignon Blanc drives the bright acidity while Chardonnay softens the palate, finishing with a delicate mineral and saline note. Serve lightly chilled as an aperitif or alongside sashimi, fish starters, scallops, or goat’s cheese.
