Tasting note
品飲筆記:這款來自Haut‑Médoc的2022年,首先以黑莓、深櫻桃與熟李子的果香吸引,伴隨雪松、煙草與微礦石氣息。口感中等偏飽滿,果實飽滿而純淨,酸度平衡,單寧細緻但有支撐力,橡木與香料為後段帶來溫暖的結構與悠長的鹹香尾韻。
酒莊簡介:卓龍酒莊以傳統波爾多工法為基礎,結合現代釀造管理,追求果香與結構的平衡。2022年目標是呈現成熟果實與溫和的橡木調性,讓酒既能早飲也具陳年潛力。
釀造工藝:採受控發酵、較長時間的浸皮以擷取色澤與單寧,之後於法國橡木桶中陳放以豐富中段口感並帶出細緻香氣。桶的比例與新舊交替使用,避免遮蔽果味。
葡萄園與環境:葡萄園位於典型的Haut‑Médoc砂礫與排水良好的土壤,受大西洋影響帶來溫和氣候。農事注重產量控制與最佳成熟度,確保採收時果皮與果肉風味平衡。整體飲感紮實又不失優雅,適合搭配紅肉與成熟硬質乳酪,約需醒酒一小時以開放香氣。
Tasting note: A classic Haut‑Médoc expression — aromas of blackcurrant, dark cherry and plum underpinned by cedar, tobacco and a touch of graphite. On the palate it shows medium‑full body with ripe dark fruit, balanced acidity and fine, firm tannins that frame a savory, lingering finish with oak spice and black pepper.
Producer notes: Chateau Troupian crafts approachable Médoc wines that marry traditional methods with modern cellar care. The 2022 vintage reflects ripe fruit and careful oak integration, aimed at balance and early accessibility while retaining regional structure.
Winemaking notes: Fermented with temperature control and extended maceration to extract colour and tannin, followed by élevage in French oak (a proportion of barrels refreshed each cycle) to build texture and complexity without overwhelming fruit purity.
Vineyard notes: Vines are planted on classic Haut‑Médoc soils with gravelly and well‑draining profiles, benefiting from maritime influence. Yields are managed for concentration; parcels are harvested at optimal ripeness to deliver ripe fruit character and firm structural backbone.
