Tasting note

這支來自波雅克的副牌展現了酒莊的經典風格，但更即飲、更親切。香氣以深色與紅色果實為主，伴隨些許李子、雪松、煙燻與草本氣息。口感中段偏精緻，酸度明快帶動整體節奏，單寧細緻有型，餘韻帶出香料與礫石礦質感。生產上由家族酒莊負責，葡萄採自砾石良好排水的園區，成熟後在法國橡木桶中熟成約12個月，橡木用量與烘烤度拿捏得宜，既有木質層次又保留果味鮮明。建議醒酒約45分鐘，配烤肋眼、燒烤或成熟硬質乳酪最合拍。整體喝起來乾淨、平衡且帶有波雅克那份海風礦感。

A Pauillac second wine that delivers classic Médoc confidence with early approachability. Aromas open to dark and red berries, plum, cedar and a faint smoky, tobacco-herb note. On the palate it is focused and medium-plus in body – sleek acidity supports compact, fine-grained tannins and a spicy, slightly savory finish. Made by the Famille Cazes estate, Verso is matured for 12 months in French oak (subtle toast) and vinified with careful extraction to preserve freshness while building structure. The grapes come from gravelly Pauillac parcels with good drainage and maritime influence, producing concentrated fruit and mineral lift. Drink now after a short decant for immediate pleasure, or cellar through the early 2030s for added complexity.

Winery

奧巴特利（Haut‑Batailley）由法國名門 Famille Cazes 經營，長期在波雅克砾石坡地栽植，注重土壤排水與果實成熟度。副牌 Verso 主要來自年輕藤或較早釀出的園塊，採取溫和的浸皮與控制式萃取，並在法國橡木桶中熟成約一年，目的在於保留鮮明果味同時增加酒體的圓潤與結構，適合較早開瓶享用。

Chateau Haut-Batailley is part of the Famille Cazes portfolio, an estate with deep Pauillac roots. Known for classic, structured wines, the property farms gravelly, well-drained plots along the Médoc plateau. The Verso bottling is the estate’s approachable second wine: made from younger vines or selected lots, vinified with restrained extraction and aged in French oak for about 12 months to add polish without overpowering fruit.
