Tasting note

這款2022年Le Clos來自著名的M. Chapoutier，展現北隆河山區的岩石感與深厚果實。酒液呈深石榴紅帶紫邊，香氣先是黑櫻桃與黑莓，接著飄出淡淡紫羅蘭、煙燻培根與石墨般的礦物氣息。入口柔和豐滿，中段層次分明，單寧非常細緻、如絲般包裹味覺，收結長而穩定，礦石味與果香相互呼應。 田間與釀造：葡萄以小箱人工採收進廠，採用30HL小型混凝土槽進行發酵，長時間浸皮約五週，讓色澤與單寧柔和充分萃取。陳年約20個月，全數在橡木桶中完成（新桶佔約25%）。葡萄園位於由粗粒黑雲母花崗岩風化形成的褐色土壤上，岩層破碎、礦物豐富，正是帶來「石頭味」與結構感的來源。 酒莊小誌：Chapoutier家族以尊重風土與嚴謹採收聞名，兼顧傳統與精細釀造，這款酒就是將產地個性表現得乾淨利落。建議醒酒一小時，搭配烤羊或野味最對味。

This 2022 Le Clos from M. Chapoutier is a concentrated Saint‑Joseph that marries ripe dark fruit with a distinctly stony, mineral core. Appearance is deep garnet with purple highlights. The nose opens to black cherry and blackberry with floral violet notes, a hint of smoked bacon and graphite-like minerality. On the palate it's soft and rich at entry, evolving into very fine, silky tannins and an elegant, layered mid‑palate. Long, lingering finish that echoes the granite terroir. Winemaking and vineyard notes: Fruit is hand‑harvested and brought to the cellar in small crates; alcoholic fermentation takes place in a 30‑hectolitre concrete vat with an extended maceration of roughly five weeks. The wine is matured entirely in oak for about 20 months (25% new barrels). The vines grow on brown soils derived from coarse‑grained, black mica granite — fractured, mineral‑rich ground that imparts that stony signature. Producer notes: Crafted under the stewardship of Michel and Marc Chapoutier, this cuvée expresses the wild, rocky Northern Rhône energy—concentrated yet refined. Drink now with an hour’s decant or cellar through the next decade (drinking window c.2025–2035).
