2020 Domaine Follin Arbelet Corton Grand Cru

品飲筆記：酒液呈明亮石榴紅，先散發紅櫻桃與覆盆子香氣，隨之浮現森林地表、蘑菇和乾燥香草的細緻層次。口感中等偏厚，酸度鮮明帶動整體節奏，單寧細緻如絲，礦質與微妙的桶香把味道拉得很長。

酒莊與產區：這來自家庭經營的 Domaine Follin-Arbelet，由 Franck Follin-Arbelet 帶領，專注低介入的栽培方式，重視土壤與坡向對風味的影響。科通特級田的石灰質斜坡賦予酒款特殊的礦物感與深度。

釀造手法：採用原生酵母發酵，陳年於法國橡木桶（部分新桶），在桶中細心培養以兼顧果味的純淨與結構的穩定。整體處理讓單寧圓潤而不掩蓋果實與礦氣。

葡萄園風土：葡萄園位於典型的坡向，排水良好且含石灰岩的土壤幫助成熟時保留清爽酸度。產量控制以提升風味濃度，2020 年的成熟度與酸度平衡良好，適合即飲並具陳年潛力。

Tasting note: Bright garnet in the glass, this Corton Grand Cru opens with lifted aromas of red cherry, raspberry and wild strawberry, edging into forest-floor, dried herbs and gentle spice. The palate is medium‑plus in body with sleek, polished tannins, lively acidity and a savory mineral thread that carries through to a long, refined finish.

Producer notes: From the family-run Domaine Follin-Arbelet under Franck Follin-Arbelet, this bottling reflects the steep, calcareous slopes of Corton. The domaine focuses on low-intervention viticulture and expressive, terroir-driven wines.

Winemaking notes: Fermented on indigenous yeasts and matured in French oak (a portion in new barrels), the wine benefits from careful élevage that preserves primary fruit while adding spice and texture. Aging in barrel was handled to balance freshness with structure, yielding polished tannins and a persistent finish.

Vineyard notes: Vines are planted on classic Corton exposures — sloping, limestone-rich soils that provide minerality and drainage. Yields are controlled to concentrate flavors, and the site’s sun exposure in the 2020 vintage produced ripe, concentrated fruit while retaining bright acidity.
