2022 Chateau du Tertre (375 ml)

經典 Margaux 風格：結構緊實但入口柔順，既能即飲也耐儲藏。

【為什麼選它？】
1) 頂級田地 -> 果實集中、層次明確：酒莊坐落於高位礫石，陽光與排水條件讓葡萄成熟均衡。
2) 法國橡木 18 個月 -> 口感圓潤不厚重：木質帶來香料與可可的陪襯，果味依然鮮明。
3) 現代化釀造 -> 每瓶穩定好喝：人工採摘、光學分選、控溫發酵與分地塊管理。

【侍酒師私房筆記】杯中先是黑加侖、黑莓與細碎花香，接着出現胡椒香與甘草氣息。酒體飽滿但不笨重，單寧細緻像絲綢般包裹果核，酸度帶動整體節奏，尾韻有可可與煙草的餘香，配紅肉超享受。稍微醒一小時更能打開層次，想早喝就先醒它。

【場景化配餐指南】週末在家烤一塊厚切牛扒、節日的燒牛肋或港式紅燒牛腩都合拍；也適合一塊陳年硬質起司、朋友聚會的主角酒。

【降維打擊對比】作為 5eme Grand Cru Classé 的表現，2022 年份提供了大牌的結構與成熟度，但平均價格遠低於同級名莊，性價比高又不失尊榮感。

A classed-growth Margaux that delivers ripe dark fruits and spice with polished structure — immediate charm with long-term pedigree.

【Why choose it?】
1) Premier terroir expression -> immediate depth and ageing potential: hand-picked fruit from elevated gravel outcrops gives concentration and clarity.
2) Balanced oak ageing -> texture without heaviness: 18 months in French oak rounds the palate while preserving freshness.
3) Modern cellar care -> reliability bottle-to-bottle: optical sorting, temperature-controlled fermentations and mixed tank élevage for consistent quality.

【Winemaker & Vineyard Notes】Château du Tertre sits on 52 hectares of high Margaux gravel, drained by a cooling stream that tempers vigour and improves ripening. Harvest is hand-picked with optical sorting; fermentations are managed at ~25°C in concrete, wood and stainless tanks with 18–28 days vatting. Maturation: 18 months in French oak.

【Sommelier's Private Notes】A fragrant opening of cassis, blackberries and floral lifts, then pepper and licorice join. On the palate it’s silkily textured: concentrated dark fruit, a core of mineral freshness, polished tannins and a savory, cocoa-tinged finish. Approachable now after decanting but will reward cellaring.

【Occasion】Perfect for a refined home steak night, celebratory roast, or to pair with Cantonese-style braised beef when you want a red that is structured yet generous.

【Competitive Edge】Classified-growth quality without the ultra-premium markup: vintage power, modern cellar precision and a Margaux signature profile that drinks well young yet can age gracefully.
