Tasting note
酒液呈淡金色,先是清新的柑橘皮與青蘋果香,再帶出成熟的核果與一絲花香;入口質地圓潤順滑,奶油感與輕微烘烤堅果風味交織,橡木的香草與淡淡香氣為中段增添層次。礦物感與活潑的酸度讓整體保持清爽平衡,餘韻細緻而有延展。 酒莊背景:出自一個以家族經營為核心的產區酒莊,重視田間管理與表現風土,風格偏向果味明晰且橡木使用節制。 釀造小語:在法國橡木桶中發酵與陳年,部分在熟澀泥中停留以豐富口感,並以低溫發酵保留香氣;略做乳酸發酵以柔化酸度,追求奶油感與結構間的平衡。 葡萄園與田地:來自勃根地坡地與石灰岩土壤,土壤帶來明顯的礦物性與線條感。田間控制產量、精細修剪,目標是保留鮮明酸度與集中果味。建議開瓶後短暫醒酒約20分鐘,風味更佳。
Pale gold in the glass, this Bourgogne Blanc unveils a layered nose of citrus peel, green apple and ripe stone fruit, lifted by a subtle floral thread. On the palate it shows a creamy mid-palate and a gentle buttery character, supported by toasted hazelnut and vanilla from judicious oak ageing. Fresh mineral tension and lively acidity keep the wine balanced, leading to an elegantly persistent finish. Producer notes: Made by Domaines Famille Picard, a family-focused group crafting approachable Burgundy. This bottling reflects their house style — clarity of fruit with measured oak influence and a focus on vineyard expression. Winemaking: Fermented in French oak barrels with partial maturation on lees to build texture; careful temperature control preserves bright aromatics. A touch of malolactic conversion smooths acidity and adds creaminess without overwhelming the wine's freshness. Vineyard: Sourced from Bourgogne-level sites where limestone-rich soils impart a mineral backbone. Vines are tended for balanced yields to concentrate flavour while retaining natural acidity. Ready to drink now through the late 2020s, best decanted briefly to open aromatics.
