1996 Domaine Nicolas Rossignol Pernand Vergelesses 1er Cru Fichots

一瓶沉穩的 Premier Cru，紅果帶著森林土壤的故事，現在開瓶就能享受。

【為什麼選它？】
1) 山坡風土 -> Les Fichots 的礫質與石灰土讓味道帶有明顯的礦感與鹹香，吃飯更有層次。
2) 現飲成熟期 -> 年份走到現在，單寧圓潤，香氣轉向蘑菇、皮革和乾草，適合即刻開瓶。
3) 小莊細作 -> 小量釀造與傳統處理，酒體優雅不做作，適合想要質感又不想花天價的人。

【侍酒師私房筆記】先輕輕醒30–45分鐘，杯中先聞到微酸的紅果、乾蔓越莓，再慢慢冒出森林地毯、蘑菇和一抹皮革。入口中段酸度支撐整體，單寧已經變得緞面般柔和，尾段帶點辛香和濕土氣息，適合配重口但有層次的菜式。想在週末慢慢品就對了。

【場景化配餐指南】一邊在太古城或西環的小餐廳配烤鴨，一邊聊天慢飲；週末家宴配烤乳鴿或蘑菇燉菜；想來點法式風情，就配紅酒燴蝸牛。也能陪中式蒜香雞或豆芽牛肉的家常菜，帶出食物的鮮味。

【釀酒與田地】Les Fichots 位於 Pernand 的一級坡地，土壤以石灰與礫石見長，日夜溫差幫助成熟但保留酸度。酒莊採傳統釀法：小批手工分選、溫和浸皮與橡木陳年，讓果實與產地味道協調發展，不是為了炫耀新桶，而是為了表現地方性。

【降維打擊對比】不像某些名牌只靠年份溢價，這瓶給你成熟風味與桌上表現，價格更友善—想喝到勁道與細緻兼備的 Premier Cru，這是高性價比的選擇。

A quietly evolved Premier Cru that rewards patience — red fruit softened by forest-floor complexity.

【Why choose this?】
1) Terroir-driven identity -> Les Fichots’ cool-slope minerality gives clear, savoury definition on the palate.
2) Mature, ready-to-drink vintage -> Tertiary notes add complexity now without aggressive tannin — approachable for immediate service.
3) Boutique producer attention -> Small-lot handling yields an elegant, layered profile that stands out at the table.

【Sommelier’s Notes】Pour gently and give 30–45 minutes: aromas open from dried red cherry and cranberry into mushroom, leather and dried herb. The palate is medium-bodied with fresh acidity holding the savory core; tannins are present but softened by age. Finish is persistent with late spice and forest-floor echoes.

【Occasions / Pairing】Perfect for a Cantonese roast dinner, a weekend French-style roast with mushrooms, or an intimate evening with slow-roasted game birds. Try with escargots in red wine sauce or roasted squab for a classic match.

【Winemaking & Vineyard Notes】From a Premier Cru slope in Pernand-Vergelesses, the domaine practices careful fruit selection and classic Burgundian vinification: gentle extraction, oak aging to support structure, and cellar ageing to harmonise aromas. The result is an older, terroir-expressive wine showing savory evolution rather than youthful power.

【Competitive Edge】Compared with big-name auction lots, this bottle often offers mature complexity and table-ready charm at a fraction of the collectible markup — ideal for collectors who want to drink, not just hold.
