Tasting note

品飲筆記：2016 年的卡農色澤深透，香氣層次豐富：紅梅、鮮櫻桃與黑莓打底，花香優雅，並帶有甘草、咖啡與些許煙燻調，橡木帶出香草與溫暖香料。口感飽滿卻不厚重，酸度俐落，單寧細緻如絲，尾韻悠長。 酒莊簡介：卡農位於聖艾美濃的優良產區，屬於 Premier Grand Cru Classé B。酒莊注重分地塊管理與人工篩選，從田間到酒窖都採取嚴謹的手法，追求優雅與陳年實力。 釀造與陳年：採用重力流的溫柔處理，發酵與陳釀過程精細控管，經約 18 個月橡木桶陳年，木香與果味融合得相當自然。 葡萄園與風土：來自聖艾美濃多樣化的地塊，土壤具有石灰質與黏土變化，賦予果實飽滿的甜感與礦物清晰感，非常適合追求層次感與陳年潛力的酒款。 飲用建議：建議醒酒一小時左右或繼續陳放，配紅肉或風味濃郁的料理最能凸顯它的魅力。

Tasting note: Deep ruby with purple hues, this 2016 shows an elegant, concentrated bouquet of red and dark berries — plums, juicy cherry and blackberry — layered with floral perfume, licorice, espresso and a touch of smoke. Oak adds vanilla and warm spice while a clear mineral thread and fresh acidity lift the palate. The texture is full and polished, with fine, silky tannins and a long, refined finish. Producer notes: From a Premier Grand Cru Classé B estate in Saint-Émilion, the team pursues precise plot-by-plot viticulture and manual sorting to ensure only the best grapes reach the cellar. The estate is noted for meticulous attention in both vineyard and winery. Winemaking notes: Grapes are handled gently with gravity-flow fermentation and rigorous selection. Fermentation and élevage are conducted with care; the wine was aged 18 months in oak, contributing to its spice, vanilla and structural integration. Vineyard notes: Sourced from well-sited plots within the Saint-Émilion appellation, the vineyards benefit from varied soils and microclimates that give both ripe fruit and mineral complexity. The result is a wine built for both early pleasure and long ageing. Serving: Best opened after decanting (60–90 minutes) or cellared further. Ideal with rich red meats and savoury dishes.
