2021 Chateau de la tour Clos de Vougeot Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru

講到布根地的傳奇特級田，伏舊園圍牆內唯一真正坐擁實體城堡同酒窖的，就只有 Chateau de La Tour。這款老藤特級田座落於排水極佳的中上坡段，土壤蘊含豐富石灰質與黏土，賦予酒體極高密度的礦物感。2021年更有個行內藏家才知道的彩蛋：由於產量精簡，莊主 François Labet 決定不單獨釀造天花板級別的 Cuvée Hommage，而是將園內樹齡超過百年的老藤果實全部注入這瓶 Vieilles Vignes 之中！入口即感受到新鮮黑櫻桃、野黑莓與幽雅牡丹花香，緊隨其後的是雪松、黑松露和微妙的煙燻層次。2021年份特有的冷涼清爽酸度貫穿始終，將緊緻細密的單寧包裹得無比絲滑。開瓶醒酒90分鐘以上，複雜度層層遞進，餘韻綿延不絕，無論是現在配搭頂級粵菜，還是收入酒櫃陳年，都是極具收藏價值的頂級享受。

Château de la Tour stands as the sole proprietary château built physically within the storied stone walls of the Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru, holding prime mid-slope parcels rich in limestone and clay. In the exceptional 2021 vintage, the estate opted not to bottle its ultra-rare Cuvée Hommage, redirecting all fruit from centenarian vines directly into this Vieilles Vignes bottling. Hand-harvested, partially whole-cluster fermented, and aged in French oak barrels, it unfurls with explosive aromas of dark wild berries, crushed peonies, blood orange peel, and vine smoke. The palate is dense yet weightless, carried by vibrant cool-vintage energy and velvety, finely sculpted tannins that lead into an endlessly complex mineral finish. A true aristocrat of the Côte de Nuits designed to evolve gracefully for decades.
