Tasting note

品飲筆記：2021 年的寶馬莊展現出優雅而集中的香氣，黑莓、黑李與深色漿果為主軸，伴隨雪茄盒、可可與微妙的香料與花香。口感上酸度明亮有活力，果實飽滿卻不笨重，單寧細緻但有咬感，整體絲滑且結構分明，餘韻持久。 酒莊與釀造：寶馬莊由 Sichel 與 Mähler-Besse 家族持有，Thomas Duroux 掌舵，重視風土與手工管理。2021 年採用接近自然的生物動力栽培與嚴格分級，約一半的收成進入主力酒款。酒液在橡木桶中熟成約 20 個月，木質與果味平衡而細緻。 葡萄園環境：位處 Margaux 心臟地帶，66 公頃礫石土壤、草列栽植並俯瞰吉倫德河，海洋性微氣候與良好排水讓葡萄成熟均衡且帶礦質感。日常管理精細，從田間到酒窖每一步都為了把風土的線條與純度呈現出來。 口感印象（輕鬆語氣）：這支酒入口是緊緻而有彈性的——先是活潑的酸度推動，再由絲滑的單寧與濃郁黑果填滿中段，最後以巧克力、煙草和礦質感收尾。建議搭配紅肉、風味濃郁的起司或慢烤野味，體驗它的層次與延展性。

Tasting Note: The 2021 Château Palmer opens with a sophisticated bouquet of blackberries, black plum, cassis and blueberry framed by cedar, cigar-box and subtle cocoa. Spices of cinnamon and clove and a hint of floral and mineral lift the aromatic profile. On the palate it is medium-bodied and finely tuned: lively, racy acidity supports plush dark-fruit mid-palate, dark chocolate and coffee-edged notes, and finely grained tannins that are firm yet silky. The wine shows excellent focus, length and a long, aromatic finish—an elegant Margaux with both early appeal and serious ageing potential. Producer Notes: Château Palmer speaks of terroir, devotion and a signature of balance, length and silk. Owned by the Sichel and Mähler-Besse families and run by Thomas Duroux, the estate pursues attentive viticulture and careful selection. Winemaking Notes: Biodynamic approaches were used in the vineyards for this vintage. The Grand Vin received roughly half of the harvest; élevage lasted about 20 months in oak with careful integration of wood and fruit to preserve freshness and structure. Vineyard Notes: Situated in the heart of Margaux, Palmer’s 66 hectares of gravelly soils and grassy rows overlook the Gironde estuary. The stony soils, maritime-influenced microclimate and meticulous vineyard care yield concentrated, refined fruit showcasing terroir-driven minerality and clarity. Cellaring: Drinking window circa 2027–2055. Closure: cork. Maturation: 20 months in oak.
