Tasting note

來自單一14公頃園區、平均老樹齡約50年的經典波美羅風格。瓶中散發黑果與紫羅蘭的花瓣香氣，伴有林地落葉、礦物感與細緻香料氣息。入口時酸度明快，帶出清晰的果味輪廓；單寧柔滑但有結構感，口感飽滿卻不笨重，尾韻乾淨而綿長。莊園在分地管理上非常細緻：23個小地塊依土壤差異獨立照顧，釀造時採用可控溫的橡木發酵槽（控溫至約28°C）以溫和萃取，之後在法國橡木中陳年約18個月，既保留新鮮度也帶出優雅的木質香。若想立刻享用，建議醒酒一至二小時，或收藏後慢慢等它展現更深層次風貌。

A signature Pomerol from a single 14-hectare block, this 2021 shows the estate’s hallmark balance of concentration and finesse. The nose opens with layered dark fruits—black cherry and blackcurrant—lifted by violet florals, hints of forest floor, graphite and cedar. On the palate the wine is vibrant and precise: bright, linear acidity frames ripe, silky tannins and a mineral-edged core. Extraction was carefully moderated in temperature-controlled oak vats set at 28°C; the wine then matured for 18 months in French oak, producing polished texture and long persistence. Built for cellaring but generous with air after decanting, it delivers refined power and an enduring finish.
