Tasting note
品飲筆記:這瓶來自瑪歌的經典酒款,先以花香迎人——新鮮玫瑰與牡丹,緊接著是野草莓、黑櫻桃與紅醋栗的果實感。中段隱約有胡椒、可可與礦物氣息作為底蘊,口感活潑、酸度帶動整體節奏。果味裡有甜中帶澀的血橙韻,尾段微苦但悠長。 田地與生產:葡萄園位於多樣化的土壤帶,從第四河岸的黏土礫石到細沙黏土礫石與沙質黏土,帶來結構與風土特質。收成在9月20日至10月10日間分批進行,重視分地塊採收與分開發酵。 釀造手法:採用分地塊及地塊內分級釀造,靠重力轉移到溫控不鏽鋼發酵槽;發酵後入法國橡木桶熟成18個月,桶中以蛋白澄清,處理細膩保留純淨果味。口感上有絲滑且細緻的單寧、明亮的酸度與漸進的花香餘韻,適合搭配烤紅肉或成熟奶酪,亦可稍微醒酒再享受,整體輕盈又有優雅陳年潛力。
Tasting Note: Fresh and refined, this Margaux opens with an enticing floral bouquet—rose petal and peony—woven with wild strawberry, black cherry and ripe redcurrant. Beneath the florals a spicy undercurrent of pepper, cocoa and a hint of graphite adds complexity. The attack is lively with a delicious interplay of sweet-sharp citrus notes and a gentle, lingering bitter edge. The palate is medium-bodied, with fine-grained, polished tannins, crisp acidity and a long, floral-tinged finish. Producer Notes: The estate highlights a superb balance of fruit and florality, with precisely harvested fruit showing excellent ripeness and poise. This vintage expresses clarity and energy while retaining the château's elegant signature. Winemaking Notes: Grapes are vinified by individual parcel and intra-parcel, transferred by gravity into temperature-controlled stainless-steel vats. After fermentation the wine is racked to French oak for élevage, with 18 months aging and light fining with egg whites in barrel. Vineyard Notes: Soils are a mix of clay–gravel from Terrace 4, fine sandy-clay gravel and sandy-clay pockets that give freshness and mineral lift. Harvest took place between 20 September and 10 October, with careful sorting and parcel selection. Cellaring & Serving: Drinking window 2026–2048; decant 60–90 minutes if enjoying in the near term to let aromatics open. Best served at 16–18°C.
